3 fs_newcell - Changes the kernel-resident list of a cell's database servers
10 B<fs newcell> S<<< B<-name> <I<cell name>> >>> -servers <I<primary servers>>+
11 S<<< [B<-linkedcell> <I<linked cell name>>] >>> [B<-help>]
13 B<fs n> S<<< B<-n> <I<cell name>> >>> S<<< B<-s> <I<primary servers>>+ >>>
14 S<<< [B<-l> <I<linked cell name>>] >>> [B<-h>]
21 The B<fs newcell> command removes the Cache Manager's kernel-resident list
22 of database server machines for the cell specified by the B<-name>
23 argument and replaces it with the database server machines named by the
26 Each time the machine reboots, the Cache Manager constructs the kernel
27 list of cells and database server machines by reading the local
28 F</usr/vice/etc/CellServDB> file. This command does not change the
29 F<CellServDB> file, so any changes made with it persist only until the
30 next reboot, unless the issuer also edits the file. The output of the B<fs
31 listcells> command reflects changes made with this command, because that
32 command consults the kernel-resident list rather than the F<CellServDB>
35 This command can introduce a completely new cell into the kernel-resident
36 list, but cannot make a cell inaccessible (it is not possible to remove a
37 cell's entry from the kernel-resident list by providing no values for the
38 B<-server> argument). To make a cell inaccessible, remove its entry from
39 the F<CellServDB> file and reboot the machine.
41 If the B<-name> argument names a DCE cell, then the B<-servers> argument
42 names DFS Fileset Location (FL) Server machines. The B<-linkedcell>
43 argument specifies the name of the AFS cell to link to a DCE cell for the
44 purpose of DFS fileset location.
48 Some commands, such as the B<aklog> or B<klog.krb5> commands, work correctly
49 only when the information is accurate for a cell in both the F<CellServDB> file
50 and the kernel-resident list.
56 =item B<-name> <I<cell name>>
58 Specifies the fully-qualified cell name of the AFS or DCE cell.
60 =item B<-servers> <I<primary servers>>+
62 Specifies the fully-qualified hostnames of all AFS database server
63 machines or DFS Fileset Location (FL) Server machines for the cell named
64 by the B<-name> argument. If FL Server machines are specified, the local
65 machine must be running the AFS/DFS Migration Toolkit Protocol Translator.
67 =item B<-linkedcell> <I<linked cell name>>
69 Specifies the name of the AFS cell to link to a DCE cell for the purpose
70 of DFS fileset location.

81 The following example changes the machine's kernel-resident list of
82 database server machines for the ABC Corporation cell to include the
83 machines C<db1.abc.com> and C<db2.abc.com>:
85 % fs newcell -name abc.com -servers db1.abc.com db2.abc.com
87 The following example links the DCE cell C<dce.abc.com> to the AFS cell
88 C<abc.com>. The AFS client contacts the Fileset Location (FL) servers
89 C<db1.dce.abc.com> and C<db2.dce.abc.com> for fileset location information
90 as it interprets a DFS pathname.
92 % fs newcell -name dce.abc.com \
93 -servers db1.dce.abc.com db2.dce.abc.com \
