Directory mount facility for Windows systems
The attached mountvol command into Windows supports the directory mount, but it does not
support the directory mount function that flushes the system buffer associated to a logical drive
such as in UNIX systems. The directory mount structure on Windows is only symbolical link between
a directory and Volume{guid}, illustrated in
below. As such, RAID Manager
supports the function to discover the mounted volumes by a directory, and supports the operation
to mount/unmount with the subcommand option.
Figure 66 Directory mount structure
Volume discovery for directory mounted volume: RAID Manager can discover the directory mounted
volume by using $LETALL that shows the relationship between logical drive and the physical volumes.
The KEY WORD ($LETALL)can also be used with the raidscan -find and mkconf commands.
D:\HORCM\etc>inqraid $LETALL -CLI
DEVICE_FILE PORT SERIAL LDEV CTG H/M/12 SSID R:Group PRODUCT_ID
D:\Vol2\Dsk7 - - - - - - - DDRS-34560D

G:\Dms1\Dsk4 CL2-K 61456 258 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-11 OPEN-3
Subcommand for directory mounted volume: RAID Manager supports the directory mount with the
-x mount
,-x unmount,-x sync option so that the directory mount can be used to
mount/unmount the S-VOL.
