26 The B<vos unlockvldb> command releases the lock on the Volume Location
27 Database (VLDB) entries indicated by the combination of arguments
34 To unlock all entries in the VLDB, provide no arguments.
38 To unlock all entries that mention a file server machine in a site
39 definition, provide its name with the B<-server> argument.
43 To unlock all entries that mention a partition on any file server machine
44 in a site definition, provide the partition name with the B<-partition>
49 To unlock all entries that mention a specific site, provide both the
50 B<-server> and B<-partition> arguments.
54 To unlock a single volume, use the B<vos unlock> command instead.
58 Do not use this command under normal circumstances.
60 It is useful if VLDB entries for volumes at a certain site are locked but
61 there is no reason to suspect inconsistency within the volume or between
62 it and the VLDB. Note that it is possible to list information from locked
63 VLDB entries, even though they cannot be manipulated in other ways.
65 The B<vos lock> command locks a VLDB entry so that no one else can perform
66 an action that requires writing the VLDB.
72 =item B<-server> <I<server name>>
74 Identifies the file server machine for which to unlock VLDB
75 entries. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully
76 qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
79 =item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
81 Identifies the partition (on the file server machine specified by the
82 B<-server> argument) for which to unlock VLDB entries. Provide the
83 partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example, C</vicepa>)
84 or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see
87 =item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
89 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
90 with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
94 Assigns the unprivileged identity C<anonymous> to the issuer. Do not
95 combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
100 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
101 F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<vos> command interpreter presents it
102 to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
103 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
104 B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L<vos(1)>.
108 Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's
109 execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
114 Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted
115 across the network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS
116 versions 1.4.11 or later and 1.5.60 or later.
120 Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very
121 useful when the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing
122 with multi-homed servers. This option is available in OpenAFS
123 versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or later.
127 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
134 The following command unlocks all locked entries in the VLDB.
138 The following command unlocks all locked VLDB entries that mention the
139 F</vicepa> partition in a site definition.
141 % vos unlockvldb -partition a
143 The following command unlocks all locked VLDB entries that refer to
144 volumes on the F</vicepc> partition of the file server machine
147 % vos unlockvldb -server fs3.example.com -partition c
149 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
151 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
152 machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
153 machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
154 logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
