|
|
<P>This guide describes concepts and procedures for
|
|
accessing information stored in the AFS filespace. It is intended for
|
|
AFS users who are familiar with UNIX but not necessarily AFS.
|
|
<P>The first chapter describes basic AFS concepts and guidelines for using it,
|
|
and summarizes some of the differences between the UNIX file system and
|
|
AFS. The remaining chapters explain how to perform basic AFS functions,
|
|
including logging in, changing a password, listing information, protecting
|
|
files, creating groups, and troubleshooting. Concepts important to a
|
|
specific task or group of related tasks are presented in context, just prior
|
|
to the procedures. Many examples are provided.
|
|
<P>Instructions generally include only the commands and command options
|
|
necessary for a specific task. For a complete list of AFS commands and
|
|
description of all options available on every command, see the <I>IBM AFS
|
|
Administration Reference</I>.

|
|
<P>This document is divided into the following
|
|
chapters.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg004.htm#HDRWQ2">An Introduction to AFS</A> introduces the basic concepts and functions of AFS.
|
|
To use AFS successfully, it is important to be familiar with the terms and
|
|
concepts described in this chapter.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg005.htm#HDRWQ20">Using AFS</A> describes how to use AFS's basic features: how to
|
|
log in and authenticate, unlog, log out, access AFS files and directories in
|
|
AFS, and change your password.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg006.htm#HDRWQ38">Displaying Information about AFS</A> describes how to display information about AFS volume quota
|
|
and location, file server machine status, and the foreign cells you can
|
|
access.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg007.htm#HDRWQ44">Protecting Your Directories and Files</A> describes how to protect your data using AFS access control
|
|
lists (ACLs).
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg008.htm#HDRWQ60">Using Groups</A> describes how to create and manage groups.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg009.htm#HDRWQ76">Troubleshooting</A> outlines step-by-step diagnostic and corrective steps for
|
|
specific problems.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg010.htm#HDRWQ80">Appendix A, Using the NFS/AFS Translator</A> describes how to use the NFS/AFS Translator to access the
|
|
AFS filespace from an NFS client machine.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg011.htm#HDRWQ86">Appendix B, AFS Command Syntax and Online Help</A> describes AFS command syntax and how to obtain online
|
|
information about commands.
|
|
<P><A HREF="auusg012.htm#HDRWQ90">Appendix C, Glossary</A> defines terms used in the <I>IBM AFS User
|
|
Guide</I>.
|
|
<HR><H2><A NAME="HDRUSERFRONTHOWTO" HREF="auusg002.htm#ToC_4">How To Use This Document</A></H2>
|
|
<P>Before you begin using AFS, read <A HREF="auusg004.htm#HDRWQ2">An Introduction to AFS</A>. Next, follow the procedures
|
|
outlined in <A HREF="auusg005.htm#HDRWQ20">Using AFS</A> to get started using AFS as an authenticated user. It
|
|
describes how to access files in the AFS filespace and how to end an AFS
|
|
session. Consult the other chapters as you need to perform the tasks
|
|
they describe.

<P>The AFS Documentation Kit also includes the following
|
|
documents:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P><LI>The <I>IBM AFS Administration Reference</I> details the syntax of each
|
|
AFS command and is intended for the experienced AFS administrator, programmer,
|
|
or user. For each AFS command, the <I>IBM AFS Administration
|
|
Reference</I> lists the command syntax, aliases and abbreviations,
|
|
description, arguments, warnings, output, examples, and related topics.
|
|
Commands are organized alphabetically.
|
|
<P><LI>The <I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I> describes concepts and
|
|
procedures necessary for administering an AFS cell, as well as more extensive
|
|
coverage of the topics in the <I>IBM AFS User Guide</I>.
|
|
<P><LI>The <I>IBM AFS Quick Beginnings</I> provides instructions for

<HR><H2><A NAME="HDRTYPO_CONV" HREF="auusg002.htm#ToC_6">Typographical Conventions</A></H2>
|
|
<P>This document uses the following typographical
|
|
conventions:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P><LI>Command and option names appear in <B>bold type</B> in syntax
|
|
definitions, examples, and running text. Names of directories, files,
|
|
machines, partitions, volumes, and users also appear in <B>bold
|
|
type</B>.
|
|
<P><LI>Variable information appears in <I>italic type</I>. This
|
|
includes user-supplied information on command lines and the parts of prompts
|
|
that differ depending on who issues the command. New terms also appear
|
|
in <I>italic type</I>.
|
|
<P><LI>Examples of screen output and file contents appear in <TT>monospace
|
|
type</TT>.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>In addition, the following symbols appear in command syntax definitions,
|
|
both in the documentation and in AFS online help statements. When
|
|
issuing a command, do not type these symbols.
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P><LI>Square brackets <B>[ ]</B> surround optional items.
|
|
<P><LI>Angle brackets <B>< ></B> surround user-supplied values in AFS
|
|
commands.
|
|
<P><LI>A superscripted plus sign <B>+</B> follows an argument that accepts
|
|
more than one value.
|
|
<P><LI>The percent sign <TT>%</TT> represents the regular command shell
|
|
prompt. Some operating systems possibly use a different character for
|
|
this prompt.
|
|
<P><LI>The number sign <TT>#</TT> represents the command shell prompt for the
|
|
local superuser <B>root</B>. Some operating systems possibly use a
|
|
different character for this prompt.
|
|
<P><LI>The pipe symbol <B> |</B> in a command syntax statement separates
|
|
mutually exclusive values for an argument.
|
|
</UL>

|
<P>For additional information on AFS commands, including a description of
|
|
command string components, acceptable abbreviations and aliases, and how to
|
|
get online help for commands, see <A HREF="auusg011.htm#HDRWQ86">Appendix B, AFS Command Syntax and Online Help</A>.
