Definitions

{ACCEPT | REJECT}

Accepts or rejects the ATTACH or DEDICATE request controlled by this rule.

requester

Defines the user ID granted access to the specified real device or devices.

deviceaddress

Specifies a device address or range of device addresses that the requester can access. The access request is initiated by an ATTACH command or by a DEDICATE directory statement in the directory definition of the requester. If this device address is '*’, then the rule applies to any address.

node

Specifies the member system node name, in a Single System Image complex, where a real address is connected. Because the same real address might be defined on multiple member names in a complex, the node name parameter is required when one specific device authorization is granted. If the node name is omitted, then the rule applies for the specified address on any member node.

Note: For more information about the options, see Common Rule Options.

READONLY

Specifies that read only access to the device is granted. The requester may not write to the device.

Description
