Introduction to the DFS commands

Description
Most DFS commands are divided into the following categories, or command suites:

bak
Operates the DFS Backup System

bos
Operates the Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server

cm
Configures the Cache Manager

dfstrace
Provides DFS kernel and server process logging information

fts
Manipulates filesets

In addition, DFS provides a number of miscellaneous commands (for example, salvage and scout) not associated with a specific command suite. DFS also provides an additional command suite, dfsgw, that is used with the DFS/NFS Secure Gateway.

System administrators use the majority of DFS commands. However, DCE users can use the following commands:

· The cm commands cm_statservers and cm_whereis to determine machine, file, and directory information

· The fts command fts_lsquota to check quota information
