Question about volume allocation in SLS 2.9F

[William Webb_2]

Running SLS 2.9F on OpenVMS 7.1 Alpha.

While I know ABS/MDMS quite well, SLS is similar but quite different.

It's easy to see whether a volume is in allocated status, but I haven't been able to figure out how to tell to whom it's allocated.

Thanks in advance,

Are you asking about which process or what username it's allocated to?

The username is easy, because you can do a STORAGE REPORT VOLUME or STORAGE SHOW VOLUME or STORAGE SHOW VOLUME/SYMBOL commands.

If you use the /SYMBOL command you should look for a symbol with the name SLS$INQ_OWNER.

You should see something in the OWNER field
if the volume is allocated.

which username it's allocated to.

It's not spelled out in the .pdf documentation, at least as much of it as I searched through.

Hey, Bob-

didn't see it was you until I looked a second time.

And it made me slap my forehead due to the obviousness of it, despite it not being spelled out in the docs...
