SRM/UX Volumes
______________



On the server machine, a control file (/etc/srmdconf) describes to
the server process (/etc/srmd) information about all the
Pascal Clients and the volumes they may access. Volumes are brought
on-line on the Pascal Client by executing a TABLE program which
contains appropriate calls to the routine tea_srm, just as volumes
are brought on line with the real SRM.

Srmdconf contains five tables. They are :

* VOLUME-TABLE
* LAN-CLIENTS
* SRM-CLIENTS
* SPOOL-ENVIRONMENT
* SPOOL-TABLE

For the present discussion, only the first 3 tables are relevant. Once 
your SRM/UX administrator has configured the system, ask him or her to
print a copy of srmdconf for you. This file will describe for you
all the volumes you may bring on line as a Pascal Client and provide
with enough information to do it.

Following is a sample srmdconf file. We only show the entries for 4
volumes in the volume table, 1 LAN client, and 1 SRM client

From the VOLUME-TABLE entries we can see where the possible volumes
actually sit in the underlying Hp-ux file system. This is illustrated
below :

                                /

                          users      srmserve

                           / \       

                       john  susan

These are all the volumes users may bring on line. We will come back to
this sample srmdconf file as needed.
