Register Volumes
All volumes in a network must have a unique volumname and volume identity. To assure this,
all volumes are registered in a global volume.
The registration is done by the administrator:
- Start the administrator with the command 'pwra'
- Enter volume mode from the menu 'File/Open/GlobalVolumeList'.
- Login as administrator.
- Enter edit mode from the menu 'Edit/Edit mode'.
Volumes are registered by objects of class VolumeReg, that are displayed in the palette to
the left. In the palette, there is also the $Hier class, that can be used to order the
VolumeReg objects in a tree structure.
- Create a VolumeReg object, open the object and enter volumename (equals objectname),
volumeidentity and project.
- Save.
- Logout with the command 'logout'.
Volume name
The name of the volume, a unique name with max 31 characters.
Volume Identity
The volume identity is a 32 bit word specified in the form v1.v2.v3.v4 where v1, v2, v3 and v4
are numbers in the interval 0-255. Dependent on the class of the volume, the numbers can be
chosen in separate intervals.
