Preface

Documentation Conventions

Several conventions may be used in this document as shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Documentation Conventions

CONVENTION	EXPLANATION

sample code	Indicates code fragments and examples in Courier font

keyword	Indicates commands, keywords, literals, and operators in bold

%	Indicates C shell prompt

#	Indicates C shell superuser prompt

<parameter>	Indicates a user-supplied value or a list of non-terminal items in
	angle brackets

[option]	Indicates optional terms in brackets

/InCharge	Indicates directory path names in italics

yourDomain	Indicates a user-specific or user-supplied value in bold, italics

File > Open	Indicates a menu path in italics

▼▲	Indicates a command is wrapped over one or more lines. The
	command must be typed as one line.

Directory path names are shown with forward slashes (/). Users of the Windows operating systems should substitute back slashes (\) for forward slashes.

Also, if there are figures illustrating consoles in this document, they represent the consoles as they appear in Windows. Under UNIX, the consoles appear with slight differences. For example, in views that display items in a tree hierarchy such as the Topology Browser, a plus sign displays for Windows and an open circle displays for UNIX.

Finally, unless otherwise specified, the term InCharge Manager is used to refer to EMC Smarts programs such as Domain Managers, Global Managers, and adapters.
