When you use the DLTUDFS command, you only have to specify one parameter:

vThe UDFS parameter determines the name of the unmounted UDFS to delete.

This entry must be of the form /DEV/QASPXX/name.udfs, where the XX is one of the valid Auxiliary Storage Pool (ASP) numbers on the system, and name is the name of the UDFS. All other parts of the path name must appear as in the example above. Wildcard characters such as '*' and '?' are not allowed in this parameter. The command will fail if the UDFS speci®ed is currently mounted.

 

Example

 

Unmount and Delete a UDFS in the user ASP on TULAB2

 

UNMOUNT TYPE(*UDFS) MFS(©DEV/QASP02/kate.udfs©)

 

This command will unmount the user-de®ned ®le system (UDFS) namedkate.udfs

 

from the integrated ®le system namespace. A user must unmount a UDFS before

 

deleting it. After unmounting a UDFS, a user can now proceed to delete the UDFS

 

and all objects within it using the DLTUDFS command:

 

DLTUDFS UDFS(©/DEV/QASP02/kate.udfs©)

 

This command deletes the user-de®ned ®le system (UDFS) namedkate.udfs from

 

the user Auxiliary Storage Pool (ASP) qasp02.

 

Mount a User-De®ned File System

 

The Add Mounted File System (ADDMFS) and MOUNT commands make the

 

objects in a ®le system accessible to the integrated ®le system namespace. To

 

mount a UDFS, you need to specify TYPE (*UDFS) for the ADDMFS command.

The ADDMFS command (or its alias, MOUNT) allows you to dynamically mount a

®le system, whether that ®le system is UDFS, NFS, or NetWare. Use the following

steps to allow a successful export of a UDFS to NFS clients:

1. Mount the block special ®le locally (Type *UDFS)

AS/400E specifications

The IBM AS/400E, now more commonly known as IBM i, is a robust and versatile midrange server that has been designed to provide a comprehensive computing solution for businesses of all sizes. First introduced in the late 1980s, the AS/400 series has undergone multiple enhancements and rebranding, with the AS/400E being one of the notable iterations. This powerful platform is closely associated with IBM's commitment to reliability, scalability, and integrated business solutions.

One of the main features of the AS/400E is its highly integrated architecture that combines hardware and software into a cohesive system. This integration allows for seamless operations, reducing the complexity typically associated with managing disparate systems. The system is powered by IBM's proprietary OS/400 operating system, which has evolved into IBM i, featuring advanced capabilities like object-oriented programming, integrated database management, and security features that are essential for enterprise environments.

A key characteristic of the AS/400E is its robust database support, primarily through the use of DB2 for i. This integrated database management system enables efficient data handling and retrieval, facilitating real-time business analytics and reporting. Furthermore, the platform supports a variety of programming languages, including RPG, COBOL, and Java, making it flexible for developers who require diverse tools for application development.

The AS/400E is also known for its exceptional reliability and uptime, making it a preferred choice for critical business applications in industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. This reliability is backed by advanced error detection and correction mechanisms, as well as redundancy features that help prevent data loss and minimize downtime.

In terms of scalability, the AS/400E can effortlessly expand to accommodate growing business demands. Organizations can increase processing power by adding more resources without significant disruption. This scalability, combined with the system’s built-in virtualization capabilities, allows businesses to optimize resource usage and streamline operations.

Security is another defining feature of the AS/400E. The platform incorporates various layers of security measures, including user authentication, encryption, and comprehensive auditing capabilities, ensuring that sensitive business data is protected against unauthorized access.

Overall, the IBM AS/400E remains a powerful tool in the enterprise computing landscape, providing businesses with an integrated, reliable, and secure solution for their technological needs. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its capability to evolve with changing business requirements while maintaining its core attributes of high performance and stability.
