Re: mounting disk
when you don't use the qualifiers that steven has shown - just a straight mount - the device , in this case a disk will be allocated to the process that issued the mount command and show as 'allocated'. if you do a show dev d/full you'll see the difference.

Re: mounting disk
This is intended to allow long-running batch jobs (for instance) to express an interest in retaining a disk in its mounted state.

Re: mounting disk
You've forgotten to show the actual
command(s) you used, and the actual output
therefrom. "diskname", in particular, might
have been interesting. "SHOW DEVICE D",
too.

Re: mounting disk
The following commands can retrieve device information and can display the OpenVMS system version, respectively:
SHOW DEVICE /FULL ddcu:
SHOW SYSTEM /NOPROCESS
I strongly -- strongly -- recommend skimming through the OpenVMS User's Guide, part of the OpenVMS documentation set. Having some background in the terms and concepts and command structure -- will greatly speed your requirements. After you have a grip on the User's Guide, the next step is the OpenVMS System Manager's Essentials manual. This is heavier going, and builds on terms and concepts from the User's Guide.
The manuals are here:
http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/doc/
OpenVMS really isn't set up to be particularly forgiving to an inexperienced system manager, and -- as you've found -- it can be somewhere between arcane and opaque if you're not up to speed with the terms and concepts.
We were all new to OpenVMS once, too. And we all eventually read through the core manuals, as much as we didn't want to.
When in doubt, always post what problem(s) you seek to solve (this in general terms; background information), always post the exact command(s) used, and always post the exact error message(s) received. And (for most cases) information on the OpenVMS version and platform, and (for cases such as this) information on the device and the storage media.
The inclusion of the background in the question -- the problem details, the commands, and the full text of the error messages -- is somewhere between very important and critical to getting a fast (and right) answer to your intended question.

Re: mounting disk
> NRCAVA::Theresa's:::>dir rmadsk08:[000000]
> %DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening RMADSK08:[000000]*.*;* as input
You're using the volume label where you
should be using the device name. Try
dir $1$DGA2337:[000000]
There may be some "DISK$volume-label" logical
names which were defined when the disks were
mounted, too.
SHOW LOGICAL DISK$
So, for example, this might work, too:
dir disk$rmadsk08:[000000]
