MDISK Statements

Because CA VM:Secure can dynamically add or move a minidisk, CA VM:Secure supports a special format of the MDISK statement that allows it to automatically determine where to place the new minidisk. The parameters appear in the same order as in a true MDISK record and their values are very similar to those on the ADDMDISK and CHGMDISK commands.

To create a permanent minidisk, a temporary minidisk, or a virtual minidisk, you use the following formats:

Mdisk vaddr [{devtype | *} [{start | *} [{size | *} [{volid | *} ["Parms"]]]]]
Mdisk vaddr {devtype | *} TDSK [size | *]  
Mdisk vaddr FB-512 VDSK [{size | *} ["Parms"]] 
Mdisk vaddr {devtype | *} DEVNO [{rdev | *} ["Parms"]]

Parms:

{mode | *} [rpw [wpw [mpw]]]

To change or move a permanent minidisk, a temporary minidisk, or a virtual minidisk, you use the following formats:

Mdisk vaddr [{devtype|=|*} [{start|=|*} [{size|=|*} [{volid|=|*} ["Parms"]]]]]
Mdisk vaddr [{devtype|=|*} [{TDSK | =} [{size | = | *}]]]
Mdisk vaddr FB-512 VDSK [{size|=|*} [ "Parms" ]]

Parms:

{mode | = | *} [{rpw | =} [{wpw | =} [mpw | =]]]

To change the minidisk label or passwords but not move the minidisk, the issuing user enters an equal sign or the original value for each of the devtype, start, size, and volid fields.

Note: For parameter definitions, see the ADDMDISK Command.
