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.
• The file identifier ZOSSPOOL should not be used, to avoid conflict with an unreleased HP
feature.
• The file identifier OSSPOOL should not be used, to avoid conflict with the file identifier for the
sample storage-pool file installed with the OSS product set.
Entries in a storage-pool file must follow these rules:
• The name of a disk volume can consist of a dollar sign ($) followed by 1 to 6 uppercase letters
and digits (A through Z and 0 through 9). The character after the $ must be a letter. (Avoid
