2. Enter the following command to mount the disk:

MOUNT/SYSTEM name-of-virtual-disk volume-label

NOTE:

The /SYSTEM switch is used for a single stand-alone system, or in clusters if you want to

mount the disk only to select nodes. You can use /CLUSTER for OpenVMS clusters. However,

if you encounter problems in a large cluster environment, HP recommends that you enter a

MOUNT/SYSTEM command on each cluster node.

3. View the virtual disk’s information with the SHOW DEVICE command. For example, enter the

following command sequence to configure a virtual disk named data1 in a stand-alone

environment:

$ INIT $1$DGA1: data1

$ MOUNT/SYSTEM $1$DGA1: data1

$ SHOW DEV $1$DGA1: /FULL

Setting preferred paths

You can set or change the preferred path used for a virtual disk by using the SET DEVICE /PATH

command. For example:

$ SET DEVICE $1$DGA83: /PATH=PGA0.5000-1FE1-0007-9772 /SWITCH

This allows you to control which path each virtual disk uses.

You can use the SHOW DEV/FULL command to display the path identifiers.

For additional information on using OpenVMS commands, see the OpenVMS help file:

$ HELP TOPIC

For example, the following command displays help information for the MOUNT command:

$ HELP MOUNT
