NAME

show cell - Displays the information you need to create a cell entry in either DNS or GDS

SYNOPSIS

cdscp show cell cell-name [as type]

ARGUMENTS

cell-nameThe global name of the cell. 

as typeThe global namespace in which you want to define the cell.  Specify either dns or gds.  The default is gds. 

DESCRIPTION

The show cell command displays the information you need to create a cell entry in either the Domain Name System (DNS) or the Global Directory Service (GDS).  DCE does not support cells registered simultaneously in GDS and DNS.  If you want to define a cell in DNS, you can use this command to produce a preformatted set of resource records.  You can then edit the appropriate DNS data file and copy the output directly into the file.  In GDS, cell information is contained in two attributes: CDS-Cell and CDS-Replica.  If you want to define a cell in GDS, you can use this command to obtain the data you need to supply when creating the CDS-Cell and CDS-Replica attributes.  For details, see the OSF DCE Administration Guide. 

Privileges Required

You must have r (read) permission to the cell root directory. 

NOTES

This command may be replaced in future DCE releases by the dcecp command, and may no longer be supported at that time. 

EXAMPLES

The following command displays the GDS-formatted output in the local cell:

cdscp> show cell /.../abc.com as gds
                        SHOW
                        CELL   /.../abc.com
                          AT   1991-10-15-15:58:25
              Namespace Uuid = 2d2d50ad-8b1a-11ba-8983-08002b0f79aa
          Clearinghouse Uuid = 2ab024a8-8b1a-11ba-8983-08002b0f79aa
          Clearinghouse Name = /.../abc.com/NY_CH
                Replica Type = Master
                    Tower 1  = ncadg_ip_udp:16.18.17.33
                    Tower 2  = ncacn_ip_tcp:16.18.17.33
 
              Namespace Uuid = 2d2d50ad-8b1a-11ba-8983-08002b0f79aa
