Change references to the documentation sets that we still ship to reference the OpenAFS manuals instead of the IBM AFS manuals. Remove references to the IBM AFS/DFS Migration documentation, since that doesn't appear to be available anywhere any more, replacing them where relevant to more generic references to the DFS documentation. Add links to docs.openafs.org for mentions of the manuals in SEE ALSO, and standardize on one link format. Replace a few references to the IBM AFS Release Notes with the actual information in those notes, or drop the reference if it doesn't seem particularly useful.

|
sysid - Lists file server machine interface addresses registered in VLDB
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The F<sysid> file records the network interface addresses that the File
|
|
Server (B<fileserver> process) registers in the Volume Location Database
|
|
(VLDB) for the local file server machine.
|
|
|
|
Each time the File Server restarts, it builds a list of interfaces on the
|
|
local machine by reading the F</usr/afs/local/NetInfo> file, if it
|
|
exists. If the file does not exist, the File Server uses the list of
|
|
network interfaces configured with the operating system. It then removes
|
|
from the list any addresses that appear in the
|
|
F</usr/afs/local/NetRestrict> file, if it exists. The File Server records
|
|
the resulting list in the binary-format F<sysid> file and registers the
|
|
interfaces in the VLDB.
|
|
|
|
When the Cache Manager requests volume location information, the Volume
|
|
Location (VL) Server provides all of the interfaces registered for each
|
|
server machine that houses the volume. This enables the Cache Manager to
|
|
make use of multiple addresses when accessing AFS data stored on a
|
|
multihomed file server machine.
|
|
|
|
=head1 CAUTIONS
|
|
|
|
The F<sysid> file is unique to each file server machine, and must not be
|
|
copied from one machine to another. If it is a common practice in the cell
|
|
to copy the contents of the F</usr/afs/local> directory from an existing
|
|
file server machine to a newly installed one, be sure to remove the
|
|
F<sysid> file from the new machine before starting the C<fs> trio of
|
|
processes, which includes the B<fileserver> process.
|
|
|
|
A maximum of 15 file server interface addresses can be registered in the
|
|
VLDB.
