The syntax of the object specification is shown in the following box:
[ subsys] [type] [\node.]name [[\node.]name] ...
[UNDER [ \node.]$manager] [hierarchy-modifier]
subsys
is a qualifier that identifies the name of the subsystem that controls the objects you
are specifying. If you do not specify a subsystem, DSNM attempts to determine
the objects’ subsystems from the operating system, Distributed Name Service
(DNS), and the rest of the object specification.
type
is a qualifier that identifies the type of the object you are specifying. The object
type must be valid in the specified subsystem. If you do not specify an object type,
DSNM attempts to determine the object types from the operating system, DNS,
and the rest of the object specification.
[ \node.]name]
is one of the following:
A subsystem object name.
An alias for a subsystem object name defined in the DNS database.
A group name defined in the DNS database.
A composite name defined in the DNS database.
A wild-card (*) specification, if permitted by the subsystem. (The wild card is
combined with the qualifiers to specify all objects that belong to the same
subsystem, object type, node, and—if applicable—to the subsystem manager.)
[ \node.]$manager]
is a qualifier that identifies the name of the manager process for the objects you are
specifying. (Specify it only if it is applicable to the specified subsystem).
