Partitions and Filesets

4-3

Filesets

Partitions are divided into logical areas known as ﬁlesets. Filesets are the tools

you select to perform the task. Partitions can be considered the “whats” and the

ﬁlesets the “hows.” For example, within the networking partition there are ﬁlesets,

or tools, called ARPA.38 and NFS_INCL.38 which provide ARPA and NFS func-

tionality, respectively. Both provide networking capability; the “what.” However,

each tool provides networking differently, the “how.” These ﬁlesets contain all of

the ﬁles required to provide the ARPA and NFS functionality.

The partitions and ﬁlesets, or tasks and tools, you choose during the menu driven

installation depend on the operating system functionality you want to have.
