lookup

Returns the physical volume mapping for a DFS GUID as returned by a read link request. As an administrator, don't worry about what GUID a junction references; but note what volume on which server the junction is pointing to.

Request

<lookup>  
   <dfsGUID/>
</lookup>

Reply

<lookup>
   <result value=" ">
      <description/>
   </result>
   <dfsGUID/>
   <volumeInfo>
      <server/>
      <tgtTree/>
      <volumeName/>
      <type/>
   </volumeInfo>
</lookup>

Example

A nssRequest packet to load VLDB software is as follows:

<nssRequest>
   <vldb>
      <lookup>
         <dfsGUID>C2EAAA00-3211-11D6-B7-C7-00C04FA33547</dfsGUID>
      </lookup>
   </vldb>
</nssRequest>

A nssReply packet to the load VLDB command follows:

<nssReply>
   <vldb>
      <lookup>
         <result value="0">
            <description/>success</description>
         </result>
         <dfsGUID>C2EAAA00-3211-11D6-B7-C7-00C04FA33547</dfsGUID>
         <volumeInfo>
            <server>prv-psst.nss.prv.novell</server>
            <tgtTree>novell_inc</tgtTree>
            <volumeName>VOL1</volumeName>
            <type>RW</type>
         </volumeInfo>
      </lookup>
   </vldb>

   <result value="0">
      <description/>zOK</description>
   </result>
