Reports on the activity of a Fileset Server
Synopsis
fts statftserver -server machine [-cell cellname] [{-noauth | -localauth}] [-verbose] [-help]
Options
-server machine
Names the File Server machine about whose Fileset Server information is to be reported. 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 where the command is to be run. 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 statftserver command reports on the actions of the Fileset Server (ftserver process) on the File Server machine specified with the
-server option. The command returns information about the actions of the Fileset Server at the moment it is issued. This command is useful mainly if there is concern that a Fileset Server
is not performing requested actions.
If no transactions are active on the specified machine, the command displays a message to that effect. This indicates that the Fileset Server is functioning properly. If transactions are active on the machine, the command displays information about the action currently being performed by the Fileset Server. Depending on the information displayed, the Fileset Server may or may not be functioning properly.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the admin.ft file on the machine specified by -server.
Output
If the Fileset Server is not currently performing any actions, the command displays the following message, indicating that the Fileset Server is functioning normally:
No active transactions on machine_name
If the Fileset Server is currently performing an action, the command displays information about the actions of the Fileset Server. The output includes fields containing ID numbers and flags that the Fileset Server sets for internal use. The details of the information returned by the command are more useful to programmers than to system administrators. A full understanding of the output requires familiarity with the code for the Fileset Server.
