Freeds operand

This operand is used to free one of the NFS control data sets so it can be replaced. This applies to either the lock data sets or the mount handle data base data sets. Enter the operand as follows.


>>-+-MODIFY-+--mvsnfs,freeds=ddname----------------------------><
   '-F------'

where

ddname: is the ddname of the NFS server control data set that is to be freed. The valid ddnames are: FHDBASE, FHDBASE2, LDBASE, LDBASE2.

Note:

Only the currently inactive data set of the mount handle data base, or lock data base, pair can be freed. Therefore, if the active data set is the one to be freed, it is necessary to first swap the data set pair. This can be done with a swapmhdb, or swapldb, command. This command swaps the active and inactive data sets in the database. Once this is done, it is then possible to free the previously active (now inactive) data set.
The freed data set must be renamed or deleted before a new data set of the same name can be allocated.
