18.18 Finding the Filename for a Given ZID

You might get an error report that identifies the ZID for a file, but not the filename and path on the volume. To find the associated filename and full path for the file on a given volume and name space, use the /ZIDtoFilename option.

  1. At the NSS Console (nsscon) prompt, enter the following command (all on the same line, of course):

    nss /ZIDtoFilename=ZIDnumber /ZIDNameSpace=namespace /ZIDVolumeName=volumename

    Replace ZIDnumber with the ZID of the file. Replace namespace with the Long, UNIX, Macintosh, or DOS name space to use for the search. Replace volumename with the name of the volume for the search.
