create [node node-id] dns server
Creates a server on the specified node. The server software
must be installed on the target node. You can also enter this
command through the dns$control utility. This command should not
normally be executed outside of the DECnet startup procedure.
You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS
systems) or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).
1 – clearinghouse
create [node node-id] dns server -
clearinghouse clearinghouse-name [,optional arguments...]
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 dns$control
utility.
The account executing the command needs write access to the
directory in which you want to name the clearinghouse. This
access must be propagated to all members of the directory's
replica set before you enter this command. Otherwise, the
command fails.
You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS
systems) or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).
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.
The following example creates a clearinghouse named
.sales.ny_ch on node .sales.orion.
create node .sales.orion dns server -
clearinghouse .sales.ny_ch
1.1 – new_directory_version
The new directory version optional argument specifies
the DECdns version number the new directories will
have at this clearinghouse. Specify the version-number
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.
1.2 – initial_replica
The initial replicate optional argument specifies the
full name of the first directory replica to store in the
clearinghouse. If you omit this argument, the parent
directory of this clearinghouse becomes the initial
replica.
1.3 – file
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 Tru64 Unix
systems, the default is /var/dss/dns. On OpenVMS systems,
the default is the default directory for the DNS$SERVER
account.
