Parts of a Disk File Name
A disk file has a unique file name that consists of four parts, with each part separated
by a period:
•
A D-series node name or a C-series system name
•
A volume name
•
A subvolume name
•
A file ID
You can name your own subvolumes and file IDs, but nodes (systems) and volumes
are named by the system manager.
All parts of the file name except the file ID are optional except as noted in the following
discussion. If you omit any part of the file name, the system uses values as described
in Partial File Names on page B-3.

Node or System Name
The node or system name, such as \MYNODE, is the name of the node or system
where the file resides. If specified, the node or system name must begin with a
backslash (\) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters. The character
following the backslash must be an alphabetic character.
