Nomadic Disk Manager Configuration Statements
Considerations
•
An alias can be particularly helpful in those installations where the default GIVE
command (see
on page 7-7) or TAKE command (see
on page 7-15) is not appropriate.
•
A DEFINE need not be a complete command; it can be a partial command. For
example:
ADD DEFINE LDEV LISTDEV
This DEFINE can be used in several ways:
LDEV
LDEV, SEGMENT ONE
•
A DEFINE can invoke another DEFINE.
ADD DEFINE LDEV LISTDEV
ADD DEFINE DOSTATUS LDEV; STATUS
•
The ADD DEFINE statement replaces the earlier ADD COMMAND statement.
ADD COMMAND is still accepted.
ADD SEGMENT Statement
The ADD SEGMENT statement adds the definition of a segment to the configuration.
seg
specifies the name of a segment you want to add to the configuration file. You can
use any valid TACL variable name.
DATA
specifies that the segment has Nomadic Disk data and is not a SPARE segment.
SPARE
Do not use this parameter.
Caution.
No syntax checking is performed on the character string when a DEFINE is added,
so it is possible to create DEFINEs that cause an infinite loop when executed.
ADD SEGMENT seg , { DATA | SPARE }
