SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

2 Storage Subsystem Objects
This chapter describes how storage subsystem components are organized for management through
the SCF interface. It contains these sections:
• “Object Names” (page 30)
• “Object States and Substates” (page 31)
• “Object Attributes” (page 31)
• “Object Types for the Storage Subsystem” (page 31)
Object Names
Object names are the device or process names you use to specify a particular object in an SCF
command. Each object type has its own object-name format.

SCF Object Name Template
Most SCF commands accept more than one object name when placed in parentheses and separated
by commas, for example:
-> SWITCH DISK ($DATA01-P, $DATA01-M)
Using Wild-Card Characters in an Object Name
When you issue an SCF command, you can use wild-card characters in the object name to indicate
that the command affects multiple objects of the given object type. Specify multiple objects by using
either:
• A single wild-card character
• Text with one or more wild-card characters
