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.
