NAME

       vos_setaddrs - Set new addresses for a file server's entry in the VLDB

SYNOPSIS

       vos setaddrs -uuid <UUID of server>
           -host <IP address>+
           [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
           [-verbose] [-encrypt] [-noresolve] [-help]

       vos seta -u <UUID of server>
           -ho <IP address>+
           [-c <cell name>]
           [-noa] [-l] [-v] [-e] [-nor] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The vos setaddrs command sets the IP addresses for a server entry in the Volume Location Database (VLDB).
       Specify one or several IP addresses.  All existing addresses in the VLDB server entry are replaced with
       the new addresses given on the command line.

       To find the UUID for a server entry, use the "vos listaddrs -printuuid" command to display all VLDB
       server entries with their UUIDs.

CAUTIONS

       Normally, the best way to change the registered addresses for a server entry is to restart the File
       Server process after changing the network configuration for that server and possibly the NetInfo and
       NetRestrict files for that server.  See NetInfo(5) and NetRestrict(5) for more information about
       configuring the File Server to register the correct set of addresses.  This command can be used to change
       the registered addresses without restarting the File Server, but the next time the File Server is
       restarted, it will register all of its known addresses again.  You should therefore always ensure that
       the File Server configuration is correct for whenever it is next restarted before using this command.

       Setting the wrong addresses will make the volumes on that file server unreachable from AFS clients.

       This command was introduced in OpenAFS 1.5.74, but can be used with any version of the Volume Location
       Server.

OPTIONS

       -uuid <UUID of server>
           The unique ID as provided by the "vos listaddrs -printuuid" command.

       -host <IP address>+
           The new list of IP addresses for the File Server.

       -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.

       -noresolve
           Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. Lets you work with IP addresses for input,
           without the DNS translation between the input and the registration of the IP address in the VLDB.

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

EXAMPLES

       The   following   command   sets   addresses   192.12.107.214    and    10.47.11.17    for    the    UUID
       008f157e-bad0-157c-0ffee-357c4d1faa77

          % vos setaddrs -uuid 008f157e-bad0-157c-0ffee-357c4d1faa77 \
              -host 192.12.107.214 -host 10.47.11.17 -verbose
          vos: Changed UUID with addresses:
          UUID: 008f157e-bad0-157c-0ffee-357c4d1faa77
          192.12.107.214
          10.47.11.17

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       Issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on each database server machine.
