To set the Cache Manager's preferences for one or more File Servers, do the following:
1. Log in as root on the machine.
2. Issue the cm setpreferences command to set the Cache manager's preferences for one or more File Servers or FL Servers, as follows:
# cm setpreferences [-server machine rank…] [-path filename] \
[-stdin] [-fldb]
The -server machine rank option specifies one or more pairs of server machine specifications (either through the host manes or IP addresses) and their ranks. By default, the machines are considered to be File Servers; however, you can specify FL Servers by adding the -fldb option. Separate each machine specification and each rank with one or more spaces. Note that you can specify up to four entries per server, with each entry having a separate machine specification.
The -path filename option specifies a file from which the command is to read one or more pairs of File Servers and their ranks. Separate each machine specification from its rank with one or more spaces, and include each paired machine specification and rank on a separate line.
The -stdin option directs the command to read pairs of File Servers and their ranks from standard input. Separate each machine specification and each rank with one or more spaces.
The -fldb option directs the command to set preferences for FL Servers, rather than for File Servers.
