DESCRIPTION

CAUTIONS

       None.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
           Identifies the file server machine where the volume resides.  Provide the machine's IP address or its
           host name (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see vos(1).

       -partition <partition name>
           Identifies the partition where the volume resides, on the file server machine named by the -server
           argument. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example, "/vicepa") or use
           one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see vos(1).

       -id <volume name or ID>
           Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the volume.

       -cell <cell name>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag.
           For more details, see vos(1).

       -noauth
           Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the
           -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

       -localauth
           Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The vos
           command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
           authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument or -noauth flag. For more details,
           see vos(1).

       -verbose
           Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's execution. If this argument
           is omitted, only warnings and error messages appear.

       -encrypt
           Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted across the network in clear
           text. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.11 or later and 1.5.60 or later.

       -noresolve
           Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very useful when the server
           address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing with multi-homed servers. This option is available
           in OpenAFS versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or later.

       -config <configuration directory>
           Set the location of the configuration directory to be used. This defaults to /etc/openafs, except if
           -localauth is specified, in which case the default is /etc/openafs/server. This option allows the use
           of alternative configuration locations for testing purposes.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following example brings an offline volume online:

          % vos online -server sv7.example.org -partition /vicepb -id root.afs

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine specified with the
       -server argument and on each database server machine. If the -localauth flag is included, the issuer must
       instead be logged on to a server machine as the local superuser "root".
