Command Reference › REPENTRY Command › Description › MDOPT Statements

MDOPT Statements

CA VM:Secure uses MDOPT statement options when it creates, changes, or moves minidisks. This section shows the format of and option definitions for MDOPT statements. CA VM:Secure ignores the FORMAT | NOFORMAT, SUBPOOL, and LABEL options when creating or changing minidisks on T-DISK or V-DISK. For more information about MDOPT statement options, see the definitions for equivalent options in ADDMDISK Command in this chapter.

CA VM:Secure removes all MDOPT statements from the new directory entry before it places the entry in the source directory.

MDOPT “Parms”

Parms:

[Format | NOFormat]
[SUBpool {poolname | *}]
[BLKsize {blksize | *}]
[Label {label | *}]
[AUnit {unitsize | *}]

[ Format | NOFormat ]

Specifies whether CA VM:Secure is to format the new and original minidisks. For these minidisks, this option overrides the FORMAT option on the REPENTRY command.

[ SUBpool poolname ]

Specifies the subpool from which CA VM:Secure is to allocate new minidisks. The default for poolname is *MNGR, which searches the list of subpools in which the directory manager for this user ID can allocate space for the first subpool with enough space.

If you specify the subpool by name, that subpool must be defined in the DASD CONFIG file and included in your or the owning manager’s list of subpools in the VMSECURE MANAGERS file. ANYPOOL authorization overrides this restriction. To specify a subpool list, use one of the variable subpool categories listed in the table, Variable Subpool Categories, in the section Subpool Categories earlier in this chapter.

[ BLKsize [ blksize ] ]

Specifies the CMS block size CA VM:Secure is to use when formatting minidisks. Possible values for blksize are 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 1K, 2K, and 4K. The default for blksize is the value specified for AUNIT; if no value is specified for AUNIT, the default for blksize is the default block size defined for the device type.

If you specify NOFORMAT on the REPENTRY command and the MDOPT statement, CA VM:Secure ignores this option.

[ Label [ label] ]

Specifies the minidisk label that CA VM:Secure is to give minidisks when it formats them. The default is DKvaddr. CA VM:Secure replaces vaddr with the virtual device address.

If you specify NOFORMAT on the REPENTRY command and the MDOPT statement, CA VM:Secure ignores this option.

[ AUnit [ unitsize] ]

Specifies an alternate allocation unit size for CA VM:Secure to use when it calculates the size of new minidisks. When this option is used, CA VM:Secure interprets the value for size on MDISK statements as the number of blocks of the size unitsize. It then uses this number to calculate the actual allocation size for the type of device used.

Possible values for unitsize are 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 1K, 2K, and 4K. The default for unitsize is the specified or default value for blksize.
