Features
DFS for OpenVMS provides OpenVMS users with the ability to use remote OpenVMS for VAX, Alpha, and Integrity server disks as if they were directly attached to the local OpenVMS system.
DFS software provides users and applications with transparent, high performance file access while using fewer CPU resources than standard DECnet for OpenVMS and DECnet-Plus file access.
Systems running DFS software can act as "servers", or "clients", or both. DFS servers make file resources available to systems running DFS client software. DFS clients are able to use file resources of systems running DFS server software. The file resources accessible through DFS can range in scope from a master file directory and all of its subordinate directories and files on a disk volume to an individual file. The DFS server software assigns a unique name to the resource to be shared.
DFS has the ability to use DECdns when available or a local DFS server database.
