For a volume containing installed products, records a change in volume label in the product database. For device independence, the product database identifies the destination device of an installed product by its logical volume name, not by its physical device name. The logical volume name (usually in the form DISK$labelname) is defined by the MOUNT command and associated with the device. Format PRODUCT REGISTER VOLUME old-volume-label device-name [/qualifiers]
1 – Description
You can check the logical volume name of a mounted device by issuing a command in the following format: $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETDVI("device","LOGVOLNAM") When you use the SET VOLUME command to change the volume label of a nonsystem device that contains installed products, you must also use the PRODUCT REGISTER VOLUME command to update the product database with this information. Register the new volume label after you dismount and remount the volume so that the new logical volume name (DISK$labelname) is defined. If you change the volume label of the system device, you do not need to use the PRODUCT REGISTER VOLUME command because PCSI automatically detects the change after the volume is remounted following a system reboot.
2 – Parameters
old-volume-label Names the old (existing) volume label. device-name Names the device for which the volume label is to be changed in the product database.
3 – Qualifiers
3.1 /LOG
/LOG /NOLOG (default) Displays the file specifications of the product database files that are created or modified.
3.2 /REMOTE
/REMOTE /NOREMOTE (default) Selects the product database located on a privately mounted system disk. By default, PCSI searches the currently booted system disk for the product database. When you use /REMOTE, the following logical names must be defined: o PCSI$SYSDEVICE must specify the physical disk name of the target system disk. This disk must be mounted and allocated to the process executing the PRODUCT command. o PCSI$SPECIFIC must point to a system root on PCSI$SYSDEVICE. It must be defined in the following form, where x is a valid system root: PCSI$SYSDEVICE:[SYSx.]
4 – Example
$ PRODUCT REGISTER VOLUME AXPVMSV62 DKA0: The command in this example replaces all occurrences of the old volume label in the PCSI database with the current volume label of the specified disk.
