Binds up to three physical devices into a shadow set represented by the virtual unit named in the command. This qualifier is applicable only if you have the volume shadowing option. See the VSI Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS for additional information. The format of this qualifier is: (virtual-unit-name[:] /SHADOW=(physical-device-name[:][,...])) This qualifier indicates that you are mounting a shadow set including the physical devices and the virtual unit that represents them to the system. This qualifier instructs MOUNT to expect a virtual unit name as the device-name parameter. Place the /SHADOW qualifier after the virtual-unit-name parameter. Use the virtual unit naming format DSAn, where n is a unique number from 0 to 9999. For the physical-device-name, use the standard device-naming format $allocation-class$ddcu[:]. Examples The following example shows how to create a shadow set wherein the software determines automatically the correct copy operation for the two shadow set members. In this case, $1$DUA10 is the more current volume and becomes the source of the copy operation to $1$DUA11. $ MOUNT DSA0: /SHADOW=($1$DUA10:,$1$DUA11:) SHADOWVOL %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, SHADOWVOL mounted on DSA0: %MOUNT-I-SHDWMEMSUCC, _$1$DUA10: (MEMBER1) is now a valid member of the shadow set %MOUNT-I-SHDWMEMCOPY, _$1$DUA11: (MEMBER2) added to the shadow set with a copy operation The following command creates a volume set with the logical name TEST3013. The volume set TEST3013 is not shadowed. However, each element of the volume set (TEST3011 and TEST3012) is a shadow set, providing redundancy for the volume set as a whole. $ MOUNT/BIND=TEST3013 DSA3011/SHADOW=($1$DUA402:,$1$DUA403:), DSA3012/SHADOW=($1$DUA404:,$1$DUA405:) TEST3011,TEST3012 TEST3013
