This section documents tags found in some but not all VMSERVER NAMES file entries.
REQUIRED
The REQUIRED tag value consists of a list of the names of other tags in the NAMES file entry. If the minidisks or directories defined on those tags are not present during server product initialization, then the product will not be started. Messages will be issued documenting the missing resources. You must then correct the server virtual machine configuration to define the missing required disk areas.
OPTIONAL
The OPTIONAL tag value consists of a list of the names of other tags in the NAMES file entry. The minidisks or directories defined on those tags are not required to be present during server product initialization. If they are present, they will be processed appropriately, but their absence will not interfere with the product startup.
ADMIN
The ADMIN tag value defines a minidisk or directory containing product materials for product administrator user IDs. These materials include product utility programs, configuration programs, and other administrator tools.
An ALTADMIN tag may also be defined to hold an alternate version of the ADMIN disk. Refer to the discussion of the ENVIRONMENT tag value to understand the use of alternate disk space.
A PREVADMIN tag may also be defined to hold a previous version of the ADMIN disk to use to back off from recent changes. Refer to the discussion of the ENVIRONMENT tag value to understand the use of previous disk space.
PUBLIC
The PUBLIC tag value defines a minidisk or directory containing product materials for general user IDs. These materials include the product command module, and other end user tools.
An ALTPUBLIC tag may also be defined to hold an alternate version of the public disk. Refer to the discussion of the ENVIRONMENT tag value to understand the use of alternate disk space.
A PREVPUBLIC tag may also be defined to hold a previous version of the public disk to use to back off from recent changes. Refer to the discussion of the ENVIRONMENT tag value to understand the use of previous disk space.
RUNTIME
The RUNTIME tag value defines a minidisk or directory containing product materials used by a server for its normal operation. These materials include a product main module, and command processing programs.
An ALTRUNTIME tag may also be defined to hold an alternate version of the runtime disk. Refer to the discussion of the ENVIRONMENT tag value to understand the use of alternate disk space.
A PREVRUNTIME tag may also be defined to hold a previous version of the runtime disk to use to back off from recent changes. Refer to the discussion of the ENVIRONMENT tag value to understand the use of previous disk space.
LOCAL
The LOCAL tag value defines writable disk space for a server product. It is usually the product server 0191 minidisk accessed at file mode letter A.
HELP
The HELP tag value defines writable disk space for product HELP files. The files may be deployed to a minidisk or to a Shared File System directory. The HELP tag for most products has a value of VMANAGER HELP. This value makes use of Indirect Tag Definition Resolution to specify that HELP files for all products are loaded to the minidisk or directory defined by the HELP tag in the VMSERVER NAMES file entry for VMANAGER.
