Issue/Introduction

How to change dasd volume labels using VM:Secure.

Resolution

The CHGVOLNM command allows you to change the volser of any DASD volume controlled by VM:Secure and to have it update all references to the volume by its new volser, including the reference in the physical label of the DASD.

VM:Secure changes references to the old volser in the following:

• The VOLUME record in the DASD CONFIG file that identifies the volume to VM:Secure
  
  
• All MDISK statements in all source directory entries that define minidisks on the target volume,
  including both minidisks VM:Secure controls and minidisks it does not control
  
  
• Authorizations in all GRANT and WITHHOLD records to use the COMPRESS volser and MAP volser commands
  
  
• VM:Secure control blocks, directory source files, and the object directory
