This section describes the types of files that are loaded in the _ADMIN:\Novell\Cluster directory when BCCVFS.NLM is installed:
The .cmd command files actually manage the BCC. Management commands are written to this file using well-defined XML instructions described later in this document. Results are then read from this file using the same XML methods. Following NSS conventions, these commands must be written to a named datastream. For more information about methods to manage NSS using standard file system functions, see NDK: Virtual File Services.
“command” is the name of the datastream that all BCC management commands use. The datastream to use must be identified before a management command can be written to the file. This can be accomplished by writing the following XML statement to the file when it is first opened:
<virtualIO><datastream name="command"></virtualIO>
Each function contains XML request (<bccRequest>) and reply (<bccReply>) information as defined in Section A.3, Cluster Management Files.
The .xml files are read-only and return run-time information about the BCC. The data in the .xml files cannot be changed.
Following NSS conventions, there is a BCC_Reame.txt file that identifies the purpose for each file created by BCCVFS.NLM in the _ADMIN:\Novell\Cluster directory. Because both NCS and BCC use the _ADMIN:\Novell\Cluster directory, there might be multiple Readme files available.
