17 The vos addsite command defines a new read-only site (partition
18 on a file server machine, specified by the B<-server> and
19 B<-partition> arguments) in the Volume Location Database (VLDB) entry
20 of the read/write volume named by the B<-id> argument. When the
21 B<vos release> command is next issued against the read/write volume, a
22 read-only copy of it is distributed to all of the read-only sites, including
23 the newly defined one.
27 A volume's VLDB entry accommodates a maximum number of site
28 definitions, as defined in the I<IBM AFS Release Notes>. The
29 site housing the read/write and backup versions of the volume counts as one
30 site, and each read-only site counts as an additional site (even the read-only
31 site defined on the same file server machine and partition as the read/write
32 site counts as a separate site). The limit in the VLDB entry
33 effectively determines the maximum number of copies of the volume that are
34 available to AFS clients.

46 reside. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either
47 fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see

52 Identifies the partition where the read-only volume is to reside, on the
53 file server machine named by the B<-server> argument. Provide
54 the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example,
55 B</vicepa>) or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated
56 forms. For details, see the introductory reference page for the

81 interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during
