Qualifiers


/CLASS
      /CLASS=className

   Specifies a subset of the complete LASTport Disk (LAD) name
   space.

   The purpose of class names is to subdivide name spaces so that
   clients see only those names that are meaningful to them. The use
   of class names also allows two services to have the same name and
   not conflict with one another.

   You can, for example, use different class names for different
   on-disk structures that several client systems use. You
   might use SERVICEA/CLASS=ODS-2 for some client systems and
   SERVICEA/CLASS=ISO_9660 for other client systems. The service
   has the same name, SERVICEA, but the class names are different.

   The class name you use depends upon the client systems that will
   connect to the service being created. The default class name
   is ODS_2. For example, OpenVMS systems use the ODS_2 name space
   when attempting to mount an InfoServer device. Note that OpenVMS
   clients can solicit only those services that are in the ODS_2
   service class.

   Valid class names are the following:

              V2.0           Names understood by PCSA MS-DOS Clients
              Unformatted    Virtual disk has no format
              MSDOS          MSDOS virtual disks
              ODS_2          VMS virtual disks
              UNIX           UNIX virtual disks
              ISO_9660       ISO 9660 CD format
              HIGH_SIERRA    MS-DOS CD format
              APPLE          Macintosh HFS format
              SUN            Sun format


/PASSWORD
      /PASSWORD=passwordString
      /NOPASSWORD

   Specifies an optional service access control password. The client
   system must specify the password to access the service.

   The password string can be up to 39 alphanumeric ASCII characters
   in length. If no password is specified, the client is not
   required to provide a password to access the service.

   The text password is hashed and stored in encrypted form in
   memory with the other service information.


/RATING
      /RATING=DYNAMIC
      /RATING=STATIC=value

   Clients use service rating to select a service in the case of
   multiple matching services. The service with the higher service
   rating is selected.

   The system adjusts the dynamic service rating based on load.

   A static rating between 0 and 65535 can also be set. Static
   ratings are not adjusted by the system.


/READAHEAD
      /READAHEAD
      /NOREADAHEAD

   When a disk read is required to fill a cache lock, specifies that
   the read should be from the first block requested to the end of
   the bucket boundary. Readahead can speed up sequential operations
   by pre-loading disk blocks that are needed into the cache.

   If both /READAHEAD and /READBEHIND are specified, any block
   requested within a cache bucket causes the entire bucket range
   of blocks to be read into the cache.


/READBEHIND
      /READBEHIND
      /NOREADBEHIND

   When a disk read is required to fill a cache block, specifies
   that the read should include all blocks from the beginning of the
   cache bucket boundary up to and including the requested block.

   If both /READAHEAD and /READBEHIND are specified, any block
   requested within a cache bucket causes the entire bucket range
   of blocks to be read into the cache.


/READERS
      /READERS=number

   Specifies the maximum number of client connections allowed for
   read access.
