We need to connect an NT4.0 Alpha network drive to a OpenVMS Alpha.
Although the NT machine has to see the drive as one device on the
VMS machine it is actually a series of different devices.
Pathworks V5 seems to not allow us to set up a shared resource to a
concealed logical but translates the first device in the chain to
it's physical device name.
For Instance
$ show logical nt_share
"NT_SHARE" = "$1$dua0:[nt_share.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
= "$1$dua100:[nt_share.]"
However Pathworks is translating the share to only
$1$dua0:[nt_share]
So how is it possible to have a Pathworks share pointing to more than
one physical VMS disk?

Kevin,
PATHWORKS doesn't support search-list logical names (heck, it doesn't
support storing any logical names in the share database ;o).
If you want it to recognize it as a single disk you'll have to use
something like a bound volume set ($ MOUNT/BIND). If you do this, be
vewy, vewy carefuw ;o) - understand it completely (or turning those
two disks into a volume set will result in lost data) before employing
this technique.
If you do set up a bound volume set, the device should (per VMS
"rules") be referenced by only:
The bound volume set logical name, or
The physical device name of the root volume (rvn1).
And for PATHWORKS, you want to autoshare only the root volume in the
set. You want to add the other NON-root volumes to the noautoshare=
line of pwrk$lanman:lanman.ini so that you can accidently add shares to
these non-root volumes.

Thanks will try your suggestion
Needless to say if anyone knows of a tool we can buy that will let
us do this please don't keep it to yourself ;-)
