File System and Access Points

Consult the "File System Description" on page 7-3.
Administrative: Root Folder Access
With the top level of the server directory structure as the access
point, the user can access all files, folders, and CDs on the
server, including the config and volumes folders. Network
administrators, who configure and monitor the server, normally
use this access.
All CDs in CD-ROM Server: CD Folder Access
With the cd folder as the access point, the user can access all
CDs inserted into the drives in the CD-ROM server. On PCs,
this makes it possible to use only one drive letter to access all
drives connected to the server. This is the normal access for most
users.
Each CD: CD-ROM Access
Two alternatives:
•
Specific CD
An inserted CD (or DVD-ROM) disc can be used as the
access point. On PCs, this makes it possible to map a drive
letter to a single CD. This may be necessary to run CD soft-
ware that expects to find its data at the root level.
•
Aliased Drive
A connected CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (and any disc in
the drive) can be used as the access point—if the SCSI ID
has been given an alias name. In other words, a SCSI Alias
is used as the access point; only the files of discs in that
drive can be accessed. This means that access restrictions
can be defined only once, and users do not have to re-map
each time a new disc is inserted into the drive. This is useful
for administering periodically updated CDs. The name of the
CD as advertised to the network is unchanged.
