HP Integrity NonStop H-Series - Manual (Page 26)

Here is a brief summary of these features:
•
To log on to the system, you must provide your user name (or user ID) and your user password.
A user name has two parts: your group name and your individual name. You separate the
names with a period:
MKTG.WILLA
You must get a user name from a group manager or system manager of the NonStop system
you want to use.
NOTE: If you do not have a password defined with your user name on a NonStop system,
you must use a space when a password is required by a TCP/IP application, such as the FTP
client.
•
A disk-file name is composed of four parts, separated by periods:
\SYS1.$DVOL1.SUBVOLA.FILEZ
In this example, \SYS1 is the system name. $DVOL1 is the name of the disk volume where
the subvolume that contains the file resides. SUBVOLA is the name of that subvolume, and
FILEZ is the name of the file.
System names begin with a backslash (\) and can contain an additional one to seven
alphanumeric characters. You can omit the system name if the file is on the system to which
you are logged on. The examples in this manual do not specify a system.
NOTE: If the backslash is the escape character on your system, enter two backslashes (\\)
when specifying a system name.
Volume names begin with a dollar sign ($) and can contain an additional one to seven
alphanumeric characters.
Subvolume names and file names can contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters and
must begin with an alphabetic character.
If you specify only the file name, the file system assumes the file is on the current default volume
and subvolume.
If you omit the volume name when you specify a subvolume, the file system assumes the
subvolume is in the current default volume.
Use of Uppercase
In this manual, Guardian system and subsystem elements such as keywords and file names sometimes
appear in uppercase letters, following the convention normally used in manuals for NonStop
systems. TCP/IP application commands, keywords, and examples usually appear in lowercase
letters, following the UNIX conventions. You can enter information in uppercase or lowercase
letters, unless you are specifying a file name in a request to be sent to a remote UNIX system. In
that case, you should be aware that the remote system might be sensitive to the case of the letters
you enter.
