The names of the folders found under the cd folder will comply with
the following rules:
•
If the system administrator has set a SCSI alias name in any of the
id<x>lun<y>.txt
files, this name will be used for the CD-ROM
drive.
•
If the system administrator has set a CD-ROM alias name but no
SCSI alias name, this name will be used.
•
If no alias names have been set, the volume name held on the
CD-ROM will be used.
•
If the CD-ROM does not have a volume name, and no alias
names have been set, the StorPoint CD will automatically allocate
a name of the form
cd_<nnnnnn>
,
where
<nnnnnn>
is a unique
five digit number.
Often the volume name is not a good representation of the CD-ROM
contents. An alias name is a convenient way of setting a more
significant or recognizable name.
SCSI alias names are useful for the following reasons:
•
When you set a SCSI alias name, any CD-ROM inserted into that
drive will be seen as having this name. Thus you could use the
same drive for a series of CD-ROMs, such as a monthly issue, and
you will not have to enter a new name each time you change the
disc.
•
When you enter a SCSI alias name, the volume rights for any disc
inserted in that drive will be determined by the drive access rights.
This is more convenient because the access rights only have to be
set once, and then the CD-ROM in the drive can be changed
without any need to enter access rights each time.
Refer to “
The Access Files
” on page 94 for information about setting
CD-ROM and SCSI alias names.
Caution
0
If you wish to run an application that is stored on the CD-ROM or
looks for its associated files on the CD-ROM, you cannot use an alias
name because the application will not recognize it.
