Makes a disk on a local node available to all the nodes in an OpenVMS Cluster.

Applies only to OpenVMS Cluster environments.

Format

SET DEVICE/SERVED node-name$DDcu:

Parameter

node-name$DDcu:

Specifies the device name of the device that you want to make available to the cluster.

Description

The SET DEVICE/SERVED command is used in conjunction with the mass storage control protocol (MSCP) server to make a disk on a local node available to all nodes on the cluster. The local node must be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster, and the local MSCP server must have been invoked by the System Generation utility (SYSGEN).

You cannot use the SET DEVICE/SERVED command under the following conditions:

• In service of a Phase II shadow set virtual unit
• On devices that are already mounted
• On system disks
• On quorum disks

The SET DEVICE/SERVED command string can be included as part of the local startup command file and entered before the Mount utility mounts the disk to be served (made available to the entire cluster).

Example

$ SET DEVICE/SERVED DRA4:
      

The SET DEVICE/SERVED command in this example instructs the MSCP server to make the disk device DRA4 on your local node available to all other processors on your cluster.
