More than one BS2000 system with BS2000/OSD-BC V9.0 or higher can jointly access Net-Storage volumes of shared pubsets. You are recommended only to operate sharers with BS2000/OSD-BC V9.0 or higher on pubsets containing catalog entries of files on Net-Storage. Systems with BS2000/OSD-BC < V9.0 cannot access Net-Storage files.
Access to PAM node files requires BS2000 OSD/BC V10.0 or higher.
Access to SAM node files requires BS2000 OSD/BC V11.0 or higher.
All sharers must connect themselves to the corresponding Net-Storage (MOUNT-NET-STORAGE).
In the shared pubset network a new Net-Storage volume can be created or deleted only on the master computer. If a Net-Storage volume was created on the master, this Net-Storage volume must also be made known and assigned on each slave using the ADD-NET-STORAGE-VOLUME command. Only then can the Net-Storage volume also be accessed from a slave system computer (IN-USE status). This assignment is retained until the pubset is exported.
Subsequently the Net-Storage volume is immediately available again (provided a connection exists to the Net-Storage), also when IMPORT-PUBSET is issued again on a slave computer.
When the master is changed, the system updates the master SYSID entered on the associated Net-Storage volumes. However, this is only possible for available Net-Storage volumes (status: IN USE). If a Net-Storage volume was not available when the master was changed (not connected or not occupied (status: ONLINE)), the first time the volume is accessed message DMS1326 is displayed on the console of the master computer and must be answered.
