EDNS/COMMANDS -- EDNS Command Summary. 85/05/08 For complete information on EDNS command usage, see Administering Your DOMAIN System. _____________________________________________________________________________ SYNTAX FUNCTION (abbreviation shown in UPPER case) _____________________________________________________________________________ Default options are indicated by "(D)". ADD name node_id Add an entry directory name, its node_id, and its uid to the master root directory; the node must be connected to the network when this command is executed so that the uid of its entry directory may be retrieved. REPlace name node_id Update the node_id and uid values for entry 'name'. Use this command after running the utilities CHUVOL, or INVOL, or replacing a disk. DELete name Delete name from the master root directory. LD [names] [-NODE node_id] List root directory entries by name; if [-sn|-nsn] names are specified, only those names [-t] [-u] [-n] [-dte] are listed. -NODE node_id List all entries with node_id specified; if 'names' are also specified, those names and entries with 'node_id' are listed. -sn (D) List entries sorted by name. -nsn Suppress name sorting. The following options specify what special information should be displayed with each entry that is listed: -t Display entry type. -u Display uid. -n Display node_id. -dte Display date/time this entry was made to the directory and the node_id of the replica where this entry was made. ADDRep node Add node to replica list. DELRep node Delete node from replica list. This command causes the NS_HELPER replica at 'node' to delete its database and stop running after its propagation list has emptied. It also causes this replica to be removed from all other replica lists. SHUT node Shut down a replica. This command causes the NS_HELPER replica at 'node' to delete its database and stop running immediately. The shutdown replica is not removed from the other replica lists. LR [-clocks] Display list of replicas in the network. -clocks Display each replica's current clock date/time and check for any replicas whose clocks are skewed. MERGE [nodeA] -FROM nodeB Merge all entries in the root directory and replica list of the NS_HELPER at nodeB into the root directory and replica list of the NS_HELPER at nodeA. If nodeA is not specified, merge into the default NS_HELPER's directory and replica list. MERGE_ALL [node] Do a global merge using the NS_HELPER at 'node' (or the default NS_HELPER if node is not specified) as the base for the merge. INIT [nodeA] [-FROM nodeB] Initialize the NS_HELPER at nodeA or, if nodeA is not specified, the default NS_HELPER. If -FROM nodeB is not specified, get a list of all node_ids, their entry directory names, and uids and add them to the NS_HELPER at nodeA's directory. If -FROM nodeB is specified, merge all entries in the directory and replica list of NS_HELPER at nodeB into the NS_HELPER at nodeA's directory and replica list; then add nodeA to nodeB's replica list. DIFF [nodeA] nodeB List differences between the NS_HELPER at nodeA's (or the default NS_HELPER's) directory and the NS_HELPER at nodeB's directory (e.g. entries in only one of the directories, names that match whose types or uids are different, etc.) List differences between the NS_HELPER at nodeA's replica list and the NS_HELPER at nodeB's replica list (e.g. replicas which appear in one NS_HELPER's list but not in the other's). INFO Give the node_id and status of the current default NS_HELPER. SET [nodeA] Subsequent commands, which do not specify an NS_HELPER, will be directed to the NS_HELPER at nodeA. If 'nodeA' is omitted, the default NS_HELPER is set to an active server on the local net. Quit Quits your current EDNS session. NOTE: a 'node' argument may be either a node name or a node_id; if it is a node name, the corresponding node_id will be found by looking up the name in the default NS_HELPER's directory.
