UNIX Volumes

CA SRM does not collect certain information about the following Solaris and Linux volumes; therefore, you cannot perform a query on them.

Solaris:

• Proc—These are not real files
• Swap—Swap space
• Tmpfs—Temporary file system
• Autofs—Auto mount
• FD—Floppy disks

Note: On Solaris the /tmp is of type swap; therefore, information is not collected about it.

Linux:

• Floppy disks
• Proc
• Swap
• Devpts
• Devfs
• Supermount file system types

UNIX Volume Naming Conventions

In order to see all platforms the same way, CA SRM uses the Universal Naming Convention on all UNIX paths. To make sure all paths comply with this standard, a special character "^" is used in place of both forward, "/", and back slashes, "\".
