SET SERVICE
type
identifies how the variable is used when SERVER objects are used. The
following types are valid:
FILE Any valid DISK, DEVICE, or PROCESS name.
DISK A disk file name.
DEVICE A Guardian device name.
PROCESS A Guardian process name.
VOLUME A disk volume name.
SUBVOL A disk subvolume name.
name
specifies a name for the variable. name can be from one through 15
alphanumeric or hyphen characters and must start with a letter, be unique with
the SERVICE object and not be a Pathway/XM reserved word.
file-name
specifies the default Guardian file, process, or device name to be associated with
the variable.
For DISK type, specify [ \node. ] [ $volume. ] [subvolume.] file-id
For DEVICE type, specify [ \node. ] device-name [ .#qualifier ]
device-name can begin with a dollar sign ($) or be a logical device number.
For PROCESS type, specify
[ \node. ] $process-name [ .#qualifier1 [ .qualifier2 ] ]
For VOLUME type, specify [ \node. ] $volume.
For SUBVOL type, specify [ \node. ] [ $volume.] subvolume
Considerations
•
The VARIABLE attribute allows you to establish default names (for file names or
device names, for example) for variables that you define in preparation for exporting
a SuperCTL file. If the current SERVICE object definition does not define the
variable, then the default associated with that variable is used.
•
When a variable reference is replaced, it is expanded using the normal defaults used
by the associated NODE object. Fully qualified Guardian file names are expanded
using the system, volume and subvolume of the logical node’s default system. If the
logical node does not have these defaults specified, then the system, volume and
subvolume defaults for the PXMCFG process is used.
Process names are expanded with a default system name only; volume and
subvolume defaults are not used.
