There were several different real and made-up hostnames and company names used throughout our documentation examples. The IETF has reserved "example.com" and other "example" TLDs for use in examples (RFC 2606). Replace almost all references to ABC Corporation, DEF Corporation, and State University, as well as "abc.com", "bigcell.com", "def.com", "def.gov", "ghi.com", "ghi.gov", "jkl.com", "mit.edu", "stanford.edu", "state.edu", "stateu.edu", "uncc.edu", and "xyz.com". Standardize on "Example Corporation", "Example Network", "Example Organization" (example.com, example.net, and example.org). The Scout documentation in the Admin Guide contains PNG images that contain the old cell names, so I left those references until the images can be replaced.

|
CellAlias - Maps cell names to aliases in /afs
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The F<CellAlias> file is used by the Unix cache manager when it is using
|
|
Dynamic Root (B<-dynroot>) mode. It creates symbolic links in the dynamic
|
|
root (/afs) that link an alias for a cell (usually a short name) to the
|
|
full name for the cell.
|
|
|
|
The most common use of this configuration file is to allow short names for
|
|
frequently used cell names. Traditionally, such short names would be
|
|
created by the local AFS administrator by creating symbolic links in the
|
|
C<root.afs> volume. Such symlinks do not appear when Dynamic Root is
|
|
enabled because, with Dynamic Root, the Cache Manager does not mount or
|
|
look at the C<root.afs> volume. F<CellAlias> is a replacement that allows
|
|
such short names to be created under the client control.
|
|
|
|
If you configure a short name mapping such as C<ir> for
|
|
C<ir.example.org>, the mapping of C<.ir> to C<.ir.example.org> for the
|
|
read/write version of the C<root.cell> volume for that cell will be
|
|
created automatically. There is no need to list that alias
|
|
separately. B<afsd> will report an error on startup if the dotted entry is
|
|
listed separately.
|
|
|
|
The contents of the F<CellAlias> file should consist of one line of two
|
|
whitespace-separated columns per alias. The first column is the real name
|
|
of the cell, and the second column is the alias that should be created.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following F<CellAlias> file:
|
|
|
|
prod.example.com prod
|
|
test.example.org testcell
|
|
|
|
results in the following symbolic links:
|
|
|
|
/afs/.prod -> /afs/.prod.example.com
|
|
/afs/prod -> /afs/prod.example.com
|
|
/afs/.testcell -> /afs/.testcell.example.org
|
|
/afs/testcell -> /afs/testcell.example.org
