VMS Help SET, VOLUME, Qualifiers, /LABEL *Conan The Librarian |
/LABEL=volume-label
Specifies a 1- to 12-character ANSI name to be encoded on the
volume. The specified label remains in effect until it is changed
explicitly; dismounting the volume does not affect the label. HP
strongly recommends that a volume label should consist of only
alphanumeric characters, dollar signs ($), underscores (_), and
hyphens (-).
NOTE
Changing the volume label does not change other structures
that used the original volume label. For example, the
DISK$label logical volume name is not changed nor is the
device-lock name that is kept internally by OpenVMS. As a
result, if you attempt to access another disk that has the
same volume label as the original volume of this device,
you may get error messages such as the following: "%MOUNT-F-
VOLALRMNT, another volume of same label already mounted".
HP recommends that, if you change a disk volume label,
you also dismount and remount the disk on all nodes in the
cluster so that the names and locks are consistent.
If you change the volume label on a nonsystem disk and the
PRODUCT INSTALL command has been used to install software
products on that disk, you must update the software product
database to reflect this change. To accomplish this, first
dismount and remount the disk. Then use the PRODUCT REGISTER
VOLUME command to replace all occurrences of the old DISK$label
with the new logical volume name that was created by the MOUNT
command.
NOTE
You do not need to take this action when you change
the label of the system disk. The POLYCENTER Software
Installation Utility continues to use the old logical
volume name until the system is rebooted. After reboot (when
the system disk is remounted), the utility automatically
identifies the system disk using its new logical volume
name.
