Section 4: Accessing Networked Jaz Drives
AXIS StorPoint HD 27 User’s Manual
The
Jaz
folder
When you insert a Jaz disk into a connected drive, a folder for that Jaz
drive is created in the Jaz folder on the server. All the files on that Jaz
disk are accessed through this folder.
The name of the jaz folder will comply with the following rules:
• The volume name held on the Jaz disk will be used if alias names
have not been set (see below).
• If the Jaz disk does not have a volume name, and there are no alias
names set, then the StorPoint will automatically allocate a name
of the form
nnnnnnnn
, where
nnnnnnnn
is the Jaz disk serial
number.
• If the system administrator has set a Jaz disk alias name this will be
used instead of the volume name.
• If the system administrator has set a Jazdrive alias name this will
be used in place of any of the above names. The drive alias name is
also known as the SCSI alias name, or SCSIAlias.
Why set alias names? Often the volume name is not a good representation of the Jaz disk
contents. An alias name is a convenient way of setting a more
significant or recognisable name.

❏
If you wish to run an application which is on the Jaz disk, or looks
for its associated files on the Jaz disk, you will not be able to use
an alias name because the application will not recognise it.
Why use a SCSI alias?
There are two good reasons:
When you set a SCSI alias any Jaz disk inserted into the drive will be
seen as having this name. Thus you could use the same drive for a
series of Jaz disks, such as a monthly issue, and you will not have to
enter a new name each time you change the disk.
The second reason is that when you enter a SCSI alias the volume
rights for any disk inserted in the drive will be determined by the drive
access rights. This is more convenient because the access rights only
have to be set once, and then the Jaz disk in the drive can be changed
without any need to enter access rights each time.
