Searching across multiple devices?

» close window

The Question is:

 
How do I search over numerous devices on a system which is clustered for a
 specific file in such a way that I don't have to search each device one at a
 time, naming them.

The Answer is :

  Define a search list representing a group of disks. For example:
 
	$ DEFINE ALL_DISKS DKA100:,DKA200:,DKA300:
	$ DIR ALL_DISKS:[000000...]SPECIFIC_FILE.DAT
 
  Logical names can be defined at system startup time in SYLOGICALS.COM and
  placed in the SYSTEM table to make them visible to all users.
