Introduction to DFS files
Description
DFS includes a number of system-specific files. These files can be grouped into the following general categories:
Configuration files
Define configuration parameters for specific server and kernel processes such as a Tape Coordinator or Cache Manager.
Administrative lists
List the principals (users, groups, and servers) allowed to access specific server processes, including the Backup Server, the Basic OverSeer Server, the
Fileset Server, the Fileset Location Server, and the Update Server.
Cache-related files
Contain cached data or information about cached data.
Log files
Contain output from specific processes or commands.
Specific information about the files, such as path names and format, is included with the reference pages that describe them. Most of the files are referred to in Part 1 of the OSF DCE DFS Administration Guide and Reference. Refer to Part 1 of that document for more information about these files and the DFS components and commands with which they are associated.
