Listing the Directory Entries You Manage

Active user IDs are those that have valid passwords and are not on hold; they are usually in regular and frequent use. Users can log onto these user IDs, provided these users know the correct logon passwords, and other users can link to the minidisks of these active user IDs.

You can put user IDs on hold if the people who use them are away or have not used those user IDs in some time. Directory entries for user IDs on hold are unavailable for as long as they are on hold; users cannot log on to them or link to their minidisks, and anyone who tries to do so receives CP error messages.

Note: For more information, see Putting User IDs on HOLD. To reactivate user IDs on hold, see Reactivating User IDs Put on Hold.

The display of directory entries that you manage and that are active is similar to the display of directory entries that you manage and that are on hold. The only difference is the status of the directory entries. For example, enter the following from CMS to see which of the directory entries you manage are active:

vmdirect query users

Information displayed is similar to this:

Entry       Updated    Minidisk    SFS in Use    SFS Allocated
FRASIERC    yy/mm/dd       300K         42.0K            1300K
FREDERIC    yy/mm/dd      1000K         50.0K             500K
LILITHS     yy/mm/dd      1150K          4.0K             150M

REBECCAH    yy/mm/dd       900K     

Next, enter the following to see which of the directory entries you manage are on hold:

vmdirect query hold

The display for directory entries on hold is similar to this:
