Deletes a server entry from the FLDB
Synopsis
fts delserverentry -server machine [-cell cellname] [{-noauth | -localauth}]
[-verbose] [-help]
Options
-server machine
Specifies the server machine whose entry is to be removed from the Fileset Location Database (FLDB). Specify the File Server machine using the
machine's DCE pathname, the machine's host name, or the machine's IP address.
-cell cellname
Specifies the cell from whose FLDB the server entry is to be removed. The default is the local cell of the issuer of the command.
-noauth
Directs fts to use the unprivileged identity nobody as the identity of the issuer of the command. If you use this option, do not use the
-localauth option.
-localauth
Directs fts to use the DFS server principal name of the machine on which the command is issued as the identity of the issuer. Use this option only if the
command is issued from a DFS server machine (a machine that has a DFS server principal in the local Registry Database). You must be logged into the server machine as root for this option to
work. If you use this option, do not use the -noauth option.
-verbose
Directs fts to provide detailed information about its actions as it executes the command.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options specified with this option are ignored.
Description
The fts delserverentry command removes the existing server entry from the FLDB for the server machine specified with -server. When the command is
issued, no fileset entries in the FLDB can reference the server entry to be removed as the site of a fileset. If a fileset entry in the FLDB references the server entry to be removed, the command
fails.
Use the fts crserverentry command to create a server entry in the FLDB. Use the fts lsserverentry command to display the current values from the FLDB for a server entry. Use the fts edserverentry command to change the current values in the FLDB for a server entry.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the admin.fl files on all Fileset Database machines.
Examples
The following example deletes the server entry from the FLDB for the server machine named fs1. No filesets can reside on the machine when the command is
issued.
$ fts delserverentry /.../abc.com/hosts/fs1
