The DEVICE parameter specifies the name of an available local server disk device to associate with the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ folder. The server shares the disk device to enable clients to access it using a NET USE command. By sharing a disk device, a client can connect to the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ folder as if it were a disk on their workstation.
The value for DEVICE must be a valid drive letter between D and Z (uppercase or lowercase). The values A, B, and C (both uppercase and lowercase) are reserved by the system and cannot be used.
This parameter is optional.
