1 – characteristics
o future skew
Specifies the maximum amount of time that a timestamp can vary from
local system time at the server node. This characteristic ensures
data consistency.
o maximum protocol version
Specifies the maximum version of the DECdns clerk/server protocol
that this particular DECdns server supports.
o minimum protocol version
Specifies the minimum version of the DECdns clerk/server protocol
that this particular DECdns server supports.
o UID
Uniquely identifies the entity.
o version
Specifies the version of the architecture implemented by this
server.
2 – counters
o authentication failures
Specifies the number of times a requesting principal failed
authentication procedures.
o child pointer update failures
Specifies the number of times the server background process was
unable to contact all the clearinghouses where a replica of a
particular child directory's parent directory is stored, and was
therefore unable to apply the child updates that have occurred
since the last skulk. This counter increases by one at each
occurrence of the Cannot Update Child Pointer event.
o creation time
Specifies the time when the DECdns server entity was created.
o crucial replica removals backed out
Specifies the number of times a user attempted (from this server)
to remove a replica that is crucial to the connectivity of a
directory hierarchy. The server background process prevents users
from accidentally disconnecting lower-level directories from
higher-level directories. When it detects an attempt to remove a
crucial replica, it will not execute the command to do so. This
counter increases by one at each occurrence of the Crucial
Replica event.
o incompatible protocol errors
Accounts for the total number of requests received by this server
from a clerk running an incompatible protocol version. A server can
communicate with any clerk running the same protocol version, or
the version previous to the one it is running. This counter increases
by one at each occurrence of the Incompatible Request event.
o possible cycles
Specifies the number of times this server followed a chain and
encountered an entry already in the chain. For example, a soft link
is created that points to a series of links that eventually point
back to the first link, or a group which is a member of itself.
This counter increases by one at occurrence of the Possible Cycles
event.
o read accesses
Specifies the number of read operations directed to this DECdns
server.
o security failures
Specifies the number of times the Security Failures event was
generated. This counter is increased whenever a DECdns server has
insufficient access rights to a directory or object to perform
either a client-requested action or a background operation.
o skulks completed
Specifies the number of skulks that were successfully completed by
this DECdns server.
o Skulks Initiated
Specifies the number of skulks that were initiated by this DECdns
server.
o times loopup paths broken
Specifies the number of broken connections between clearinghouses
on this server and clearinghouses closer to the root. Incoming
requests to this server that require a downward lookup in the
directory hierarchy may still succeed, but requests requiring
lookup in directories closer to the root will fail. This counter
increases by one at each occurrence of the Broken Lookup Paths event.
o write accesses
Specifies the number of write operations to this DECdns server.
3 – status
o state
Specifies the state of the DECdns server.
Broken The server has a fatal error condition.
Initial The server is initializing.
Off The server is not available.
On The server is running and available.
Shut The server is undergoing an orderly shutdown.
4 – clearinghouse
show [node node-id] dns server -
clearinghouse clearinghouse-name attribute [,attribute...]
all
all characteristics
all counters
all identifiers
all status
Displays current information about the specified clearinghouse.
The clearinghouse-name can be a specific clearinghouse name or
a complete directory specification followed by a wildcard
template for matching simple names of clearinghouses.
You can also enter this command using the dns$control utility.
You need read access to the clearinghouse to display a list of
known attributes or the value of an attribute. You must have
the NET$EXAMINE rights identifier on a OpenVMS system.
No special privileges are required on a Tru64 Unix system.
Examples:
show dns server clearinghouse .paris2_ch all
show dns server clearinghouse *
4.1 – characteristic
o CTS
Indicates the creation timestamp (CTS) of this clearinghouse.
o UID
Uniquely identifies this entity.
4.2 – counters
o creation time
Specifies the time when the clearinghouse entity was created.
o data corruptions
Specifies the number of times that the Data Corruption event was
generated.
o disable counts
Specifies the number of times that the clearinghouse was disabled
since it was last started.
o enable counts
Specifies the number of times that the clearinghouse was enabled
since it was last started.
o read accesses
Specifies the number of read operations directed to this
clearinghouse.
o references returned
Specifies the number of requests directed to this clearinghouse
that resulted in the return of a partial answer instead of
satisfying the client's request.
o skulk failures
Specifies the number of times that a skulk of a directory,
initiated from this clearinghouse, failed to complete --
usually because one of the replicas in the replica set was
unreachable.
o times clearinhouse entry missing
Specifies the number of times the Clearinghouse Entry Missing
event was generated.
o times root not reachable
Specifies the number of times the Root Lost event was generated.
o upgrades not possible
Specifies the number of times that the clearinghouse tried to
upgrade a directory and failed.
o write accesses
Specifies the number of write operations directed to this
clearinghouse.
4.3 – identifiers
o name
Specifies the full name of the clearinghouse.
4.4 – status
o state
Specifies the state of the clearinghouse.
Broken The clearinghouse has a fatal error condition.
Initial The clearinghouse is in the process of initializing.
Off The clearinghouse is not available.
On The clearinghouse is running and available.
Shut The clearinghouse is in the process of an orderly
shutdown.
