Prefix

For an OPEN VMS server host: The total length of the Prefix and the Initial Number may not exceed 5 characters. If the Prefix is 5 characters, you may not specify an Initial Number and vice versa.

For a server host other than OPEN VMS: The total length of the Prefix and the Initial Number may not exceed 64 characters. If the Prefix is 64 characters, you may not specify an Initial Number and vice versa.

The following rules apply to UUID:

• UUIDs are case-sensitive. For example, Abc and abc are different UUIDs.
