Patterns
Diskfile patterns reduce administrative burden by supplying one pattern that can match
many subvolumes or filenames. For more information, see the Safeguard User’s
Guide.
Specifying Disk Volume Names
You can identify a disk volume with either a fully or a partially qualified volume name.
To specify more than one volume in a command, you can use wild cards in a volume
name, or you can use a volume name list.
Fully Qualified Volume Names
A fully qualified volume name includes both a system name and a volume name.
\system-name
is a system name as described in Fully Qualified Disk-File Names on page 2-4.
$volume
is a disk volume name as described in Fully Qualified Disk-File Names on
page 2-4.
Examples
=ALTER VOLUME \tops.$data, LIKE \tops.$user2,
=ADD VOLUME \tops.$dat*
=INFO VOLUME \tops.$*
=INFO VOLUME \*.$SYS??
Partially Qualified Volume Names
A partially qualified volume name is a volume name without a system name.
$volume
is expanded to \system-name.$volume.
\system-name
is the current default system name.
\system-name.$volume
$volume
