Remarks

For help in understanding the class definition template, see Reading Class Definitions.

The Resource class differs from the Device class in that a device is a physical unit such as a printer, and a resource is some nonphysical, logical unit such as a queue or volume.

The Host Resource Name attribute is used when the host’s local identification for a resource differs from the global resource identification. For example, a server might recognize SYS as the local name for a volume with the eDirectory name:

     Project X.Engineering.Acme.US

The L (Locality Name), O (Organization Name), and OU (Organizational Unit Name) attributes are useful when a resource is used by multiple localities, organizations, or organizational units. If these attributes contain appropriate values, a search can be initiated for resources associated with a particular locality or organization.
