Creates a clearinghouse on the specified node. You can specify
the directory version, the initial replica to be stored in the
clearinghouse, and the filename. This command is useful after moving
a clearinghouse or if you have moved the clearinghouse file. You can
also enter this command through the NCL interface.
SYNOPSIS
CREATE [NODE node-id]
DNS SERVER CLEARINGHOUSE clearinghouse-name
[NEW DIRECTORY VERSION version-number,]
[INITIAL REPLICA replica-name,] [FILE filespec]
Arguments
node-id
The name of the node. If you do not specify a node name, the local
node is assumed.
clearinghouse-name
The full name of the clearinghouse.
version-number
The DECdns version number the new directories will have at this
clearinghouse. Specify the value as Vx.y.z, where x defines the
major release number, y specifies the minor version number, and z
specifies an ECO level. This argument is optional. Set the value to
V1.0.0 if you intend to create DNS Version 1 directories. Set it to
V2.0.0 to create only DECdns Version 2 directories. If you omit this
argument, the default is V2.0.0.
replica-name
The full name of the first directory replica to store in the
clearinghouse. This argument is optional. If you omit this argument,
the parent directory of this clearinghouse becomes the initial
replica.
filespec
A file specification that will contain the clearinghouse. This
argument, which is optional, is useful if you have moved an existing
clearinghouse and do not want new default names to be generated
automatically. On ULTRIX systems, the default is /var/dss/dns. On
VMS systems, the default is the default directory for the DNS$SERVER
account.
NOTE
This command is normally executed only by the DECdns
configuration program during the configuration of a
DECdns server in an existing namespace. You should
use this command only to re-create a clearinghouse
whose database files are relocated on another server
system.
ACCESS RIGHTS
The account executing the command needs write access to the
directory in which you want to name the clearinghouse. This
access must be propagated to all members of the directory's
replica set before you enter this command. Otherwise, the
command fails.
PRIVILEGES REQUIRED
You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (VMS systems) or
superuser privileges (ULTRIX systems).
