Volume type for Net-Storage

Net-Storage is made available to the BS2000 system by means of one or more Net-Storage volumes which extend a pubset. While the Net-Storage volume on the net server corresponds to a directory in the file system released for BS2000, from the BS2000 viewpoint it is a disk.

In contrast to “normal” BS2000 disks, in BS2000 no device exists on which a Net-Storage volume could be mounted. Consequently, Net-Storage volumes are not generated.

The volume type NETSTOR (internal type A9) must be specified in the DEVICE-TYPE (or TYPE) operand for a Net-Storage volume.
