Figure 41. Using the Add Mounted FS (ADDMFS) display

When you use the ADDMFS or MOUNT commands, you can specify many parameters and options:

vThe required TYPE parameter on the ADDMFS command speci®es the type of ®le system being mounted. The type of mount determines the correct form for the MFS parameter.

vThe required MFS parameter on the ADDMFS command speci®es the path name of the ®le system to be mounted. It can be the path to a local Block Special File (*BLKSF), a remote NFS path name, or the path of a NetWare ®le system.

vThe required MNTOVRDIR parameter on the ADDMFS command speci®es the path name of the existing directory that the ®le system will be mounted over. This directory gets ªcoveredº by the mounted ®le system.

vThe mount options list contains a character string of mount options. The keywords are separated by commas. For some keywords, an equal '=' and a value follow the keyword. If a keyword is not speci®ed, the default value for that option will be used. The options list may contain spaces.

vThe CODEPAGE parameter on the ADDMFS command Speci®es, for Network File Systems, a pair of code pages.

vThe data ®le code page speci®es what code page should be assumed for data ®les on the remote system. You should specify a code page that has the same number of bytes per character as the original data.

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.
