Remarks

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

This subclass exists primarily to allow Volume objects to be distinguished from other types of Resource objects.

The Host Server attribute identifies the server that owns and services the resource. Requests to manipulate a particular resource must usually be directed to the host server.

When present, the Host Resource Name attribute is used to contain the local volume name that corresponds to the volume name on the server. This 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

If the attribute is not present, the local volume name "SYS" can be assumed.

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.
