Makes a physically remote file system that is currently accessible to local users inaccessible. Dismounts a remote file system or directory from local device DNFSn: (the mount point). Related commands: MOUNT, SHOW MOUNT Applies to: NFS client Format DISMOUNT { mount_point | logical_name } [ /ALL ] [ /HOST=host ] [ /[NO]WAIT ]
1 – Restrictions
Dismounting a /SYSTEM mount requires SYSNAM privilege. Dismounting a /GROUP mount requires GRPNAM privilege.
2 – Parameters
mount_point Required (if you omit logical_name and the /ALL qualifier). Default: None. DNFS device (and optional directory tree) required to dismount. Specify this mount point as one of the following: DNFSn: DNFSn:[dir.subdir] DNFSn:[dir.subdir]file where: n Value from 1 to 9999. [dir] Directory to mount or (up to eight in addition to the [000000] directory). [dir.subdir] file Individual file to dismount. If you use the /ALL qualifier, you must specify DNFSn: without the directory tree. logical_name Required (if you omit mount_point and the /ALL qualifier). Default: None. Logical name that you defined with the MOUNT command of the device to dismount.
3 – Qualifiers
3.1 /ALL
Optional. Dismounts one of the following: o All file systems from all servers: DISMOUNT /ALL o All file systems on the specified server: DISMOUNT /ALL /HOST=host o All file systems on the specified device: DISMOUNT DNFSn: /ALL If you dismount using the /ALL qualifier, the dismount operation completes even if the server is not currently reachable.
3.2 /HOST
/HOST=host Optional. Default: None. Dismounts all file systems from the specified NFS server. Valid only with the /ALL qualifier.
3.3 /WAIT
/WAIT /NOWAIT Optional. Default: /NOWAIT. o /WAIT - Does not dismount the mounted file system if outstanding activities exist. - Waits until the dismount has been completed. - If you try to access any files on the mount point, the dismount fails. o /NOWAIT - The client completes the command immediately. - Dismounting does not actually occur until all file activity has been completed.
