Configuration Files Used for the OSS Name Servers
The Storage-Pool Files
The storage-pool files define the disk volumes that each fileset is currently allowed to
use when creating new files. The storage-pool files must be created or edited by the
system manager using a Guardian text editor. They must be present and must contain
valid data before the OSS Monitor is started.
HP recommends:
•
The Guardian file identifier for a storage-pool file should either start with Z or have
the form mnemonicPOOL, where mnemonic is a four-character identifier that
associates that storage-pool file with its corresponding fileset. For example, in a
system with only one fileset named ROOT, the storage-pool file should be named
ROOTPOOL.
