An allocation class is a number that serves as part of a device name to provide unique and unchanging names to uniquely identify shared devices, files, and data. Allocation classes are required in OpenVMS Cluster configurations where storage devices are accessible through multiple paths. Without the use of allocation classes, device names that relied on node names would change as access paths to the devices change.
