TCPIP$UCP_HELP.HLB  —  MAP
    Maps (logically links) one of the following to the NFS server:

    o  OpenVMS disk - Requires one execution of MAP to map the disk
       to a UNIX path name.

    o  Container file system - Requires two executions of MAP. The
       first maps the disk, and the second maps the file system.

    Mapping creates a logical file system, also called an NFS file
    system. A logical file system (with an entry in the export
    database) is accessible to NFS client users for mounting.

    To make a file system available on all nodes of a cluster, map it
    on each node.

    Mapping is one step in the tasks necessary to give remote users
    access to a file system that physically resides on an OpenVMS
    host running an NFS server:

    1. Map the file system.

    2. Export the file system (add an entry in the export database).

    3. Give potential users entries in the proxy database.

    MAP settings are not permanent. To map file systems in the
    permanent configuration database, issue SET CONFIGURATION
    [NO]MAP.

    CONFIGURATION MAP, SET CONFIGURATION NOMAP, SHOW MAP, SHOW

    Format

      MAP  "file system name" logical_file_system

1  –  Restrictions 

    Requires SYSPRV and BYPASS privileges.

2  –  Parameters 

 "file system name"

    Required.

    Specifies the name for the file system or disk. In the case of
    mapping a disk, the "/path" can be only one level from the root.
    This parameter specifies the name by which users will access the
    file system.

 logical_file_system

    Required.

    Specifies the file system to make known to the NFS server.

    To map an OpenVMS file system, specify its disk:

    MAP "/disk" disk:

    To map a container file system, specify the disk and the
    directory name:

    TCPIP> MAP
    "/container_name" disk:[vms.directory.name]

3  –  Examples 

    1.TCPIP>  (TCPIP>)MAP "/usr" CANARY$DUA2:

      Maps local disk CANARY$DUA2: to /usr. This disk can be exported
      as /usr to users on remote NFS clients.

    2.TCPIP> MAP "/remote" VERDIN$DUA3:
      TCPIP> MAP "/flyers" VERDIN$DUA3:[UNIX_BIRD_FILES]

      Maps [UNIX_BIRD_FILES], a container file system on disk
      VERDIN$DUA3:, to /flyers. This file system can be exported
      as /flyers to NFS server users. (The first MAP command maps the
      underlying OpenVMS file system.)
