This document refers to the term UNC, which stands for Universal Naming Convention, which specifies a CIFS/SMB (i.e. Windows share) path. It starts with two slashes ‘ \\’, followed by an address, (i.e. ‘coe-fs.engr.tamu.edu’) followed by a share (i.e. ‘Research’). 

When this document refers to a share, we mean a share on the Isilon that is directly accessible at the UNC address \\coe-fs.engr.tamu.edu\<share_name>. For example, the ‘Research’ share would be accessed using the following UNC path:

...

\\coe-fs.engr.tamu.edu\

...

Research

would instead be entered as:

smb://coe-fs.engr.tamu.edu/Research
