I do believe that Transarc DOES provide a tool for this. We provide
the package utility which allows administrators to maintain consistency
Hello Dawn,
Thanks for helping me understand this a little better.
You are right: package can be configured to keep /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB
consistent with some master copy. One can even have a daily crontab job
do this (as well as a reboot package invocation).
BTW, this would be a good example to include in Chapter 6 of the
"AFS Installation Guide" .
Please would you assist me on making better use of package:
a) How can package be used to "fs newcell $cell $server_list"
for each cell listed in /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB?
("reboot the client" is not the right answer in our environment.)
b) Changes to CellServDB involve cells being added and removed.
How can I use package to keep my AFS cell mounts consistent
with these changes?
Reading package documentation, it is not clear if package can do a) and b).
Hence, reciprocated "shooting from the hip" from over here! ;-)
