Specifying the path type prefix and the customer-configurable path resolution heuristic

z/OS Network File System Guide and Reference
SC23-6883-00

The following z/OS NFS server site attributes apply to all NFS path names and their resolution processing. This includes directories specified in the Exports list and the checklist in the Exports file, as well as mount and root lookup objects.

HFSPREFIX(prefix)
specifies the z/OS UNIX file system prefix to be appended to the front of z/OS UNIX file system path names for a mount path directory. The default value of the prefix is /hfs
MVSPREFIX(prefix)
specifies an MVS data set prefix to be appended to the front of MVS data set name for a mount path directory. The default value of the prefix is /mvs.
IMPPREFIX(impprefix)
specifies how to interpret a mount path that does not have a path type prefix, where impprefix is one of the following:
NONE
An explicit prefix must always be specified for an absolute path. Implicit prefix resolution is not valid in this case.
HFS
If no explicit prefix is present, assume the path is a z/OS UNIX file system.
MVS
If no explicit prefix is present, assume the path is an MVS data set. This is the default.
HFS, MVS
If no explicit prefix is present, first assume the path is a z/OS UNIX file system. If no matching z/OS UNIX file system can be found, assume that it is an MVS data set.
MVS, HFS
If no explicit prefix is present, first assume the path is an MVS data set. If no data set with a matching high-evel qualifier can be found, assume that it is a z/OS UNIX file system.
