|

|
|
<P>This guide describes the concepts and procedures that an
|
||
|
|
AFS<SUP><SUP>(R)</SUP></SUP> system administrator needs to know. It assumes
|
||
|
|
familiarity with UNIX<SUP><SUP>(R)</SUP></SUP> administration, but no previous
|
||
|
|
knowledge of AFS.
|
||
|
|
<P>This document describes AFS commands in the context of specific
|
||
|
|
tasks. Thus, it does not describe all commands in detail. Refer
|
||
|
|
to the <I>IBM AFS Administration Reference</I> for detailed command
|
||
|
|
descriptions.

<P>This document groups AFS administrative tasks into the
|
||
|
|
following conceptual sections:
|

|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Concepts and Configuration Issues
|

<P><LI>A chapter overview
|

<P><LI>A quick reference list of the tasks and commands described in the chapter

<P><LI>An introduction to concepts that pertain to all of the tasks described in
|
||
|
|
the chapter
|

|
|
<P><LI>A set of sections devoted to specific tasks. Each section begins
|
||
|
|
with a discussion of concepts specific to that task, followed by step-by-step
|
||
|
|
instructions for performing the task. The instructions are as specific
|
||
|
|
as has been judged practical. If two related procedures differ from one
|
||
|
|
another in important details, separate sets of instructions are usually
|
||
|
|
provided.

<HR><H2><A NAME="HDRWQ4" HREF="auagd002.htm#ToC_7">Related Documents</A></H2>
|
||
|
|
<P>The following documents are also included in the AFS
|
||
|
|
documentation set.
|
||
|
|
<P><I>IBM AFS Administration Reference</I>
|
||
|
|
<P>This reference manual details the syntax and effect of each AFS
|
||
|
|
command. It is intended for the experienced AFS administrator,
|
||
|
|
programmer, or user.
|
||
|
|
<P>The <I>IBM AFS Administration Reference</I> lists AFS files and
|
||
|
|
commands in alphabetical order. The reference page for each command
|
||
|
|
specifies its syntax, including the acceptable aliases and
|
||
|
|
abbreviations. It then describes the command's function,
|
||
|
|
arguments, and output if any. Examples and a list of related commands
|
||
|
|
are provided, as are warnings where appropriate.
|
||
|
|
<P>This manual complements the <I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I>:
|
||
|
|
it does not include procedural information, but describes commands in more
|
||
|
|
detail than the <I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I>.
|
||
|
|
<P><I>IBM AFS Quick Beginnings</I>
|
||
|
|
<P>This guide provides instructions for installing AFS server and client
|
||
|
|
machines. It is assumed that the installer is an experienced UNIX<SUP>
|
||
|
|
<SUP>(R)</SUP></SUP> system administrator.
|
||
|
|
<P>For predictable performance, machines must be installed and configured in
|
||
|
|
accordance with the instructions in this guide.
|
||
|
|
<P><I>IBM AFS Release Notes</I>
|
||
|
|
<P>This document provides information specific to each release of AFS, such as
|
||
|
|
a list of new features and commands, a list of requirements and limitations,
|
||
|
|
and instructions for upgrading server and client machines.
|
||
|
|
<P><I>IBM AFS User Guide</I>
|
||
|
|
<P>This guide presents the basic concepts and procedures necessary for using
|
||
|
|
AFS effectively. It assumes that the reader has some experience with
|
||
|
|
UNIX, but does not require familiarity with networking or AFS.
|
||
|
|
<P>The guide explains how to perform basic functions, including
|
||
|
|
authenticating, changing a password, protecting AFS data, creating groups, and
|
||
|
|
troubleshooting. It provides illustrative examples for each function
|
||
|
|
and describes some of the differences between the UNIX file system and
|
||
|
|
AFS.

<HR><H2><A NAME="HDRTYPO_CONV" HREF="auagd002.htm#ToC_8">Typographical Conventions</A></H2>
|
||
|
|
<P>This document uses the following typographical
|
||
|
|
conventions:
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Command and option names appear in <B>bold type</B> in syntax
|
||
|
|
definitions, examples, and running text. Names of directories, files,
|
||
|
|
machines, partitions, volumes, and users also appear in <B>bold
|
||
|
|
type</B>.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Variable information appears in <I>italic type</I>. This
|
||
|
|
includes user-supplied information on command lines and the parts of prompts
|
||
|
|
that differ depending on who issues the command. New terms also appear
|
||
|
|
in <I>italic type</I>.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Examples of screen output and file contents appear in <TT>monospace
|
||
|
|
type</TT>.
|
||
|
|
</UL>
|
||
|
|
<P>In addition, the following symbols appear in command syntax definitions,
|
||
|
|
both in the documentation and in AFS online help statements. When
|
||
|
|
issuing a command, do not type these symbols.
|
||
|
|
<UL>
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Square brackets <B>[ ]</B> surround optional items.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>Angle brackets <B>< ></B> surround user-supplied values in AFS
|
||
|
|
commands.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>A superscripted plus sign <B>+</B> follows an argument that accepts
|
||
|
|
more than one value.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>The percent sign <TT>%</TT> represents the regular command shell
|
||
|
|
prompt. Some operating systems possibly use a different character for
|
||
|
|
this prompt.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>The number sign <TT>#</TT> represents the command shell prompt for the
|
||
|
|
local superuser <B>root</B>. Some operating systems possibly use a
|
||
|
|
different character for this prompt.
|
||
|
|
<P><LI>The pipe symbol <B> |</B> in a command syntax statement separates
|
||
|
|
mutually exclusive values for an argument.
|
||
|
|
</UL>
|
||
|
|
<P>For additional information on AFS commands, including a description of
|
||
|
|
command string components, acceptable abbreviations and aliases, and how to
|
||
