RAPCHECK(8)                 Legato NetWorker 4.0                 RAPCHECK(8)


NAME
       rapcheck - Resource Administration Platform (RAP) resource directory
       consistency checking program

SYNOPSIS
       rapcheck [ -adnvy ] [ raphost ]

DESCRIPTION
       The rapcheck program maintains the consistency of the RAP resource
       directory between multiple servers, and checks for garbage, resource
       descriptors that are no longer valid.

       -a     Automatic mode. This causes another server to be contacted,
              and all the resources in that server included in the local
              server's database. Before they are added, new resources are
              contacted directly to make sure that they really do exist.  If
              this option is not specified, then each resource in the local
              database is contact to verify that it still exists.

       -d     Debug.  Turn on some debugging printouts.

       -n     Not really.  Check, but do not actually transfer any data.

       -v     Verbose.  Turns on more verbose printouts.

       -y     Yes.  No confirmation will be requested.

       Resources are grouped together if they have the same location; gener­
       ally all the resources managed by a particular instance of a service
       will have the same location given by the hostname, ONC program num­
       ber, and ONC version number attributes.  For ``soft'' errors like a
       host being temporarily down, all of the resources can be deleted at
       once, either in response to asking a user, or automatically after the
       time (in seconds) given in the default RAP expire time attribute of
       the RAP area resource.  For ``hard'' errors, such as a service that
       has been re-installed so it no longer recognizes its old resources,
       the old resources are immediately deleted.
