|
|
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The <B>prdb.DB0</B> file contains the Protection Database, which
|
|
maps AFS user, machine, and group names to their respective IDs (AFS UIDs and
|
|
GIDs) and tracks group memberships. The Protection Server
|
|
(<B>ptserver</B> process) uses the information in the database to help the
|
|
File Server grant data access to authorized users.
|
|
<P>The <B>prdb.DBSYS1</B> file is a log file in which the
|
|
Protection Server logs each database operation before performing it.
|
|
When an operation is interrupted, the Protection Server replays the log to
|
|
complete the operation.
|
|
<P>Both files are in binary format and reside in the <B>/usr/afs/db</B>
|
|
directory on each of the cell's database server machines. When the
|
|
Protection Server starts or restarts on a given machine, it establishes a
|
|
connection with its peers and verifies that its copy of the database matches
|
|
the copy on the other database server machines. If not, the Protection
|
|
Servers call on AFS's distributed database technology, Ubik, to
|
|
distribute to all of the machines the copy of the database with the highest
|
|
version number.
|
|
<P>Always use the commands in the <B>pts</B> suite to administer the
|
|
Protection Database. It is advisable to create an archive copy of the
|
|
database on a regular basis, using a tool such as the UNIX <B>tar</B>
|
|
command.
