Synchronizing Fileset Information

To synchronize the FLDB and fileset headers, do the following:

1. Verify that you have the necessary privileges. You must be included in the admin.ft file on each machine that houses a version of any fileset stored at a site specified with the fts syncfldb or fts syncserv command. You must also be included in the admin.fl file on each Fileset Database machine or own the server entry for each machine that houses a version of any fileset stored at a site specified with either command. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to verify the members of an administrative list.

2. Issue the fts syncfldb command to make FLDB entries consistent with filesets that are stored at the specified site. Repeat this command for every File Server machine in your cell.

$ fts syncfldb -server machine [-aggregate name]

The -aggregate name option names the aggregate on the server machine specified with the -server option for which fileset headers and FLDB entries are to be compared. Do not use this option under normal circumstances; omitting it allows synchronization of all of the filesets on the machine specified with the -server option. Use it only when just a single aggregate needs to be synchronized.

3. Issue the fts syncserv command to make filesets that are stored at the specified site consistent with FLDB entries. Repeat this command for every File Server machine in your cell.

$ fts syncserv -server machine [-aggregate name]

The -aggregate name option names the aggregate on the server machine specified with the -server option for which fileset headers and FLDB entries are to be compared. Do not use this option under normal circumstances; omitting it allows synchronization of all of the filesets on the machine specified with the -server option. Use it only when just a single aggregate needs to be synchronized.
