I have a question regarding the use of the F$GETDVI("disk","MOUNTCNT")
lexical in a cluster environment.
If you do a SHOW DEV DUA? in a cluster where that device is mounted
cluster wide, lets say four nodes, then MOUNTCNT=4.
If however you use the lexical F$GETDVI the MOUNTCNT value returned
is MOUNTCNT=1
As I understand it the lexical returns the node specific information
while the SHOW DEV does something "fancy" to get the cluster wide
information. (if I'm wrong just tell me so, I'm use to it ;-) )
What I would like to know is;
1/ Is there a way to get the "true" MOUNTCNT, something
I could use in a command file.
2/ Is the F$GETDVI lexical not working right, or will it
be improved.
Thanks in advance
Ralf
By the way... I've also put this in the cluster conf.

SHOW DEVICE is full of magic code to figure out what is going on cluster-wide. F$GETDVI is simply an interface to $GETDVI, and doesn't contain all the magic; it is more or less restricted to information "about" the local node. I don't know if any changes are planned...I wouldn't hold my breath, though. From a command file, you've always go the old stand-by of doing a SHOW DEVICE into a file, then reading the file.... -- Jerry | |||||
