Figure 10 Guardian Files in the OSS File System
Using Pathnames for Remote Files
The rules described in the preceding subsection can be extended to the files accessible through
the /E directory. A file on a remote node that is connected to your node through the Expand
network appears in /E when all of the following are true:
• The remote Expand node has a TOSVERSION of D40 or later.
• The remote node has an OSS name server running with a device subtype of 5.
• The file is either:
A Guardian disk file◦
◦ An OSS file in a started fileset with a catalog that uses a format newer than a D3x version
Remote Guardian files appear in the /G directory of the remote node. For example, if the remote
node is named NODE1, the Guardian files on its $SYSTEM disk in subvolume ZOSSUTL would
appear to your system as files in /E/node1/G/system/zossutl/.
