NAME

       fs_listcells - Displays the database server machines known to the Cache Manager

SYNOPSIS

       fs listcells [-numeric] [-help]

       fs listc [-n] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs listcells command formats and displays the list of the database server machines that the Cache
       Manager stores in kernel memory for its home cell and foreign cells.

       At each reboot of the client machine, the Cache Manager copies the contents of /etc/openafs/CellServDB
       into kernel memory. To modify the list between reboots, use the fs newcell command.

OPTIONS

       -numeric
           Displays each database server machine's IP address rather than hostname.

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

OUTPUT

       The  output  includes  a  line  for  each cell included in the Cache Manager's kernel memory list, in the
       following format:

          Cell <cell> on hosts <database server machines>

       The Cache Manager stores IP addresses, but by default has them translated to hostnames  before  reporting
       them, by passing them to the cell's name service (such as the Domain Name Service or a local host table).
       The  name service sometimes returns hostnames in uppercase letters, or an IP address if it cannot resolve
       a name.

       Using the -numeric flag bypasses the translation to hostnames, which can result in  significantly  faster
       production of output. The output includes IP addresses only.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example  shows  output  for  several  cells as illustrations of the different formats for
       machine names:

          % fs listcells
          Cell example.com on hosts fs1.example.com fs2.example.com fs3.example.com
          Cell example.org on hosts DB1.FS.EXAMPLE.ORG
             DB2.FS.EXAMPLE.ORG DB3.FS.EXAMPLE.ORG
          Cell example.net on hosts 138.255.0.2 sv3.example.net
