Resource names and UNC formats

Resources in a SAN are identified in several ways, including UNC format. UNC (Universal or
Uniform Naming Convention) identifies a resource in terms of its hierarchical location in a network.

See the following for name and UNC formats:

DR groups

,

Enabled hosts

,

Host volumes

,

Storage

systems

, and

Virtual disks

(storage volumes)

Resource names in job commands

When you initially enter a command in a job, the command's resource arguments are displayed
as %variable% names, for example:

CreateDiskDevice (%storvol_unc_name%, %host_name%, 0, READ_WRITE)

When selecting a specific resource from an Editing Task menu, the resource names are presented
in a UNC format, or other format, as appropriate for the resource. If you enter a resource name
from the keyboard, you must use the appropriate format.

IMPORTANT:

UNC names in job commands are case sensitive.

After selection or entry of arguments, the command is displayed with resource names in quotes,
for example:

CreateDiskDevice ( "\\ArrayA2\Cats", "HostA6", 12, READ_WRITE )

Name formats and examples for resource types follow.

DR groups

Example
