</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The <B>vos unlock</B> command releases the lock on the Volume Location
Database (VLDB) entry for the indicated volume.
<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
<P>Do not user this command under normal circumstances.
<P>It is useful if the VLDB entry is locked but there is no reason to suspect
inconsistency within the volume or between it and the VLDB. Note that
it is possible to list information from locked VLDB entries, even though they
cannot be manipulated in other ways.
<P>The <B>vos unlockvldb</B> command unlocks several VLDB entries at once,
or even the entire VLDB. The <B>vos lock</B> command locks a VLDB
entry so that no one else can perform an action that requires writing the
VLDB.
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
<DL>
<P><DT><B>-id
</B><DD>Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a volume of any
of the three types.
<P><DT><B>-cell
</B><DD>Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
argument with the <B>-localauth</B> flag. For more details, see the
introductory <B>vos</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-noauth
</B><DD>Assigns the unprivileged identity <B>anonymous</B> to the
issuer. Do not combine this flag with the <B>-localauth</B>
flag. For more details, see the introductory <B>vos</B> reference
page.
<P><DT><B>-localauth
</B><DD>Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
<B>/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile</B> file. The <B>vos</B> command
interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during
mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the
<B>-cell</B> argument or <B>-noauth</B> flag. For more details,
see the introductory <B>vos</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-verbose
</B><DD>Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the
command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings
and error messages appear.
<P><DT><B>-help
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
</DL>
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
<P>The following example unlocks the VLDB entry for the volume
<B>user.terry</B>.
<PRE> % <B>vos unlock user.terry</B>
</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
<P>The issuer must be listed in the <B>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</B> file on
the machine specified with the <B>-server</B> argument and on each
database server machine. If the <B>-localauth</B> flag is included,
the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local
superuser <B>root</B>.
