<P>Lists the local cell's database server machines
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The server version of the <B>CellServDB</B> file lists the local
cell's database server machines. These machines run the
Authentication Server, Backup Server, Protection Server, and Volume Location
(VL) Server (the <B>kaserver</B>, <B>buserver</B>,
<B>ptserver</B>, and <B>vlserver</B>) processes, which maintain the
cell's administrative AFS databases. The initial version of the
file is created with the <B>bos setcellname</B> command during the
installation of the cell's server machine, which is automatically
recorded as the cell's first database server machine. When adding
or removing database server machines, be sure to update this file
appropriately. It must reside in the <B>/usr/afs/etc</B> directory
on each AFS server machine.
<P>The database server processes consult the <B>CellServDB</B> file to
learn about their peers, with which they must maintain constant connections in
order to coordinate replication of changes across the multiple copies of each
database. The other AFS server processes consult the file to learn
which machines to contact for information from the databases when they need
it.
<P>Although the <B>CellServDB</B> file is in ASCII format, do not use a
text editor to alter it. Instead always use the appropriate commands
from the <B>bos</B> command suite:
<UL>
<P><LI>The <B>bos addhost</B> command to add a machine to the file
<P><LI>The <B>bos listhosts</B> command to display the list of machines from
the file
<P><LI>The <B>bos removehost</B> command to remove a machine from the file
</UL>
<P>In cells that run the United States edition of AFS and use the Update
Server to distribute the contents of the <B>/usr/afs/etc</B> directory, it
is customary to edit only the copy of the file stored on the system control
machine. In cells that run the international version of AFS, edit the
file on each server machine individually. For instructions on adding
and removing database server machine, see the <I>IBM AFS Quick
Beginnings</I> chapter on installing additional server machines.
<P>The server version of the <B>CellServDB</B> file is distinct from the
client version, which resides in the <B>/usr/vice/etc</B> directory on
each AFS client machine. The server version lists only the local
cell's database server machines, whereas the client version lists the
database server machines in every AFS cell that the cell administrator wants
the machine's users to be able to access.
