/CONFIRM virtual-unit-name[:] /SHADOW=(physical-dev- name[:][,...]) /NOCONFIRM virtual-unit-name[:] /SHADOW=(physical-dev- name[:][,...]) Causes MOUNT to pause and request confirmation before performing a copy operation on the specified disk device. This qualifier is applicable only if you have the volume shadowing option. See the HP Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS for additional information. This qualifier controls whether MOUNT issues a request to confirm a full copy operation when mounting a shadow set. The /SHADOW qualifier must be used with the /CONFIRM qualifier. Use /CONFIRM to display the volume label and volume owner for any specified physical device that is a target for a copy operation. MOUNT stops before any copy operations occur and issues the following prompt: Allow FULL shadow copy on the above member(s)? [N]: If you respond Y or YES, the mount operation continues automatically with copy operations allowed. If you respond N, NO, <RETURN>, or <Ctrl/Z>, the command quits without mounting any of the specified volumes (including volumes that did not require copy operations). If you type a response other than those listed above, MOUNT reissues the prompt. The /CONFIRM qualifier is similar to /NOCOPY. Use /CONFIRM to mount shadow sets interactively; use /NOCOPY in the site-specific startup command procedure SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM. Example The following example shows how to use the /CONFIRM qualifier to check the status of potential shadow set members before any data is erased. The command instructs MOUNT to build a shadow set with the specified devices, and prompts for permission to perform a copy operation. The response of YES instructs MOUNT to mount the shadow set. $MOUNT/CONFIRM DSA0:/SHADOW=($200$DKA200:,$200$DKA300:,$200$DKA400:) X5OZCOPY %MOUNT-F-SHDWCOPYREQ, shadow copy required Virtual Unit - DSA0 Volume Label - X5OZCOPY Member Volume Label Owner UIC $200$DKA200: (VIPER1) X5OZCOPY [SYSTEM] $200$DKA400: (VIPER1) X5OZCOPY [SYSTEM] Allow FULL shadow copy on the above member(s)?
