serviceName The name by which the service is known to the local area network. The service name can consist of alphanumeric characters and dollar signs ($). It can be 255 characters or fewer in length. device-or-partitionName The device or partition name is the name of the OpenVMS disk device or partition being served to the local area network. The name of the device or partition must have been created previously. Explanations of device and partition names follow. o Device names Devices served to the local area network are OpenVMS disk devices; use OpenVMS device names when you specify an InfoServer device name. A disk specification must end with a colon. o Partition names Partitions are container files that are served to the network. As such, they have OpenVMS file names with a default file type of ".ESS$PARTITION". Partition names, including the device, directory, and file name, can be no more than 242 characters in length. Support for partitions is limited in this version. VSI strongly suggests that you use LD devices to support partitioned hard drives. See the DCL command LD HELP for more information.
