DEFINE PATH (Define a path)
Use this command to define a path for a source to access a destination. Both the source and destination must be defined before you can define a path. For example, if a path is required between a server and a drive, you must first issue the DEFINE DRIVE command and then issue the DEFINE PATH command. A path must be defined after you issue the DEFINE DRIVE command in order to make the drive usable by the server.
Syntax and parameter descriptions are available for the
following path types.
