Examples of CDS entries in both GDS and DNS global naming formats follow. The first example shows a CDS entry for a server machine in DNS format:
/.../abc.com/hosts/fs1/self
The second example shows a similar entry in GDS format:
/.../C=US/O=abc/OU=Writers/hosts/fs1/self
In addition to their global names, all CDS entries have a cell-relative name, or local name, that is usable only within the cell where the entry exists. The cell-relative name begins with the /.: prefix, which replaces the global cell name. An example of a CDS entry that uses the cell-relative prefix follows:
/.:/hosts/fs1/self
