=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command releases the lock on the Volume Location Database (VLDB) entries indicated by the combination of arguments provided: =over 4 =item * To unlock all entries in the VLDB, provide no arguments. =item * To unlock all entries that mention a file server machine in a site definition, provide its name with the B<-server> argument. =item * To unlock all entries that mention a partition on any file server machine in a site definition, provide the partition name with the B<-partition> argument. =item * To unlock all entries that mention a specific site, provide both the B<-server> and B<-partition> arguments. =back To unlock a single volume, use the B command instead. =head1 CAUTIONS Do not use this command under normal circumstances. It is useful if VLDB entries for volumes at a certain site are 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. The B command locks a VLDB entry so that no one else can perform an action that requires writing the VLDB. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-server> > Identifies the file server machine for which to unlock VLDB entries. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see L. =item B<-partition> > Identifies the partition (on the file server machine specified by the B<-server> argument) for which to unlock VLDB entries. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example, C) or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see L. =item B<-cell> > Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-noauth> Assigns the unprivileged identity C to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-localauth> Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local F file. The 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> argument or B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-verbose> 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. =item B<-help> Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. =back =head1 EXAMPLES The following command unlocks all locked entries in the VLDB. % vos unlockvldb The following command unlocks all locked VLDB entries that mention the F partition in a site definition. % vos unlockvldb -partition a The following command unlocks all locked VLDB entries that refer to volumes on the F partition of the file server machine C. % vos unlockvldb -server fs3.abc.com -partition c =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED The issuer must be listed in the F file on the machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000.
