Windows mount points and device names Examples Host OS Device name Windows Drive Disk3 Drive & folders Disk3 Mount point E:\ E:\pets\cats In a Windows OS, mount points are typically called drive letters. In the drive example the host volume is mounted as drive letter E:\. In the drive & folder example, the host volume is mounted as drive letter E:\, in the folder \pets\cats.

Windows mount points and device names
Examples
Host OS
Device name
Mount point
Windows
Drive

E:\
Drive & folders
Disk3
E:\pets\cats
In a Windows OS, mount points are typically called drive letters. In the drive example the host volume is
mounted as drive letter
E:\
. In the drive & folder example, the host volume is mounted as drive letter
E:\
, in the folder
\pets\cats
.
OpenVMS mount points and device names

Host OS
Device name
Volume label
Mount point

Mount point names are based on OpenVMS volume labels.
Partitions and slices
In most OSs a single disk (host volume) is divided into logical parts called partitions. In some OSs,
partitions are called slices or disk sections.
For some replication manager job commands, you may need to enter a host volume’s partition or ID
into a command argument. If necessary, see your host operating system documentation for details on
identifying partitions.
HP-UX disk sections
If you are a superuser for an HP-UX host, you can identify host volume disk sections by viewing the
/etc/mnttab
le.
HP-UX supports up to 16 disk sections, numbered 0 through 15. Disk section number 2 refers to the
entire disk.
In the example below, the
root directory
is on controller 0, target 0, disk section 10. and the
users drive
is
on controller 0, target 0, disk section 2 (entire disk).
/dev/dsk/c0t0d
10
/
hfs rw 0 1 # root directory
#7937
/dev/dsk/c2t0d
2
/users
hfs rw 0 1 # /users drive
#7937
Linux partitions
If you are an administrator for a Linux host, you can identify host volume partition numbers using utilities
such as
parted
and
fdisk -1
.
