INITIALIZE-PRIVATE-VOLUME - Initialize private disks

The INITIALIZE-PRIVATE-VOLUME statement is used to initialize a private disk. The statement is executed immediately rather than being transferred to the current sequence of statements.

VOLUME=vsn
Specifies the VSN of the disk to be initialized.

UNIT=mn
Two- or four-digit mnemonic of the device on which the disk is mounted.

OVERWRITE-DISK
Specifies whether the disk is to be checked before being used.

OVERWRITE-DISK=*ANY
This disk is initialized without the existing (old) VSNs being checked.

OVERWRITE-DISK=vsn
This disk is only initialized if the existing VSN tallies with that specified by VOLUME=vsn.

FORMAT
Defines the disk format of the disk to be initialized.

FORMAT=*UNCHANGED
This disk is initialized with its previous format; it is initialized in format K if it is unformatted.

FORMAT=*K
The disk is initialized with format K.

FORMAT=*NK
The disk is initialized with format NK2, allocation unit 6.

 

F1-LABEL-SIZE=1000 / <integer 1..32766>
Specifies the size of the F1 label in PAM blocks. 1000 PAM blocks are reserved by default. The permitted size of the F1 label ranges from 1 to 32,766 PAM blocks. The specified value is rounded up to allocation unit size.

CAPACITY=
Specifies the maximum disk capacity. This operand is evaluated only for disk type A5 (D3435). Disks of other types are always initialized with their maximum capacity. This operand is mainly used for disk migration.

CAPACITY=*STD
The disk is made available with its maximum capacity.

CAPACITY=<integer 1000..2 147 483 647>
The disk is made available with the capacity specified (in PAM pages). The specification may not exceed the maximum capacity of the disk.

FUNCTION
Specifies whether the disk is to be initialized with a specific bit pattern.

FUNCTION=*CREATE-LABELS-ONLY
Only the labels are generated

FUNCTION=*FORMAT-DISK
The disk is initialized with a specific bit pattern
