Resources in a SAN are identified in several ways, including UNC format. UNC (Universal or Uniform
Naming Convention) identifies a resource in terms of its hierarchical location in a network.

Resource names in job commands
When you initially enter a command in a job, the command's resource arguments are displayed
as %variable% names, for example:
CreateDiskDevice (%storvol_unc_name%, %host_name%, 0, READ_WRITE)
When selecting a specific resource from an Editing Task menu, the resource names are presented in a
UNC format, or other format, as appropriate for the resource. If you enter a resource name from the
keyboard, you must use the appropriate format.
IMPORTANT:
UNC names in job commands are case sensitive.
After selection or entry of arguments, the command is displayed with resource names in quotes, for
example:
CreateDiskDevice ( "\\ArrayA2\Cats", "HostA6", 12, READ_WRITE )
