•
The ServerNet Nomadic Disk volumes are connected to the two nodes using 
ServerNet Nomadic Disk fiber-optic switches in a standard configuration. 
°
The primary disk drives are connected to \PRI.
°
The mirror disk drives are connected to \BCK. 
•
The entire application environment (object files, control files, startup and shutdown 
files, and so on) is located on a Nomadic volume.
•
Example 5-1 and Example 5-2 show the contents of the Nomadic Disk Manager 
configuration files used for the examples in this section. The 
$SYSTEM.NOMADIC.NDCONFIG files are shown for \PRI and \BCK. For
