Getting Started
Using Dialog Boxes
Chapter 276
Figure 2-10 Browse Dialog Box
In some cases, you can specify multiple objects (separated by white
space) in a single field. To select multiple objects from a browse dialog
box, hold down the Control key and click on each object. To select a range
of adjacent objects, select the first object and then hold down the Shift
key while selecting the last object in the range.
Specifying Disks and Disk Groups in Dialog Boxes
You can specify the object’s disk group by preceding the object name with
the disk group name ( diskgroup_name / object_name ). The disk group
name is required if there are multiple objects with the same name (in
different disk groups) on the system.
Disks in disk groups have two names:
• device name
The physical disk device name (or disk access name ).
• disk name
The Volume Manager disk name (or disk media name ). This is the
logical name given to the disk by the Volume Manager or the
administrator.
Some dialog box fields require the device name and others require the
Volume Manager disk name.
