DNS$CPHELP.HLB  —  create  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 NCL interface.  This command should not
 normally be executed outside of the DECnet startup procedure.

 SYNOPSIS

      CREATE [NODE node-id] DNS SERVER

 Argument

 node-id

 The name of the node. If you do not specify a node name, the local
 node is assumed.

                                 NOTE

    To create a server on a VMS system, enter the
    @SYS$SSTARTUP:DNS$SERVER_STARTUP command from the VMS system
    prompt. You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier to
    execute this command. You can only use the command locally;
    you must be logged into the system where the server resides.

 PRIVILEGES REQUIRED
 You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (VMS systems) or
 superuser privileges (ULTRIX systems).

1  –  example

 The following command creates a DECdns server on the local node.

 dns>  create dns server

2  –  clearinghouse

 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).

2.1  –  example

 The following command creates a clearinghouse named .sales.ny_ch on
 node .sales.orion.

 dns> create node .sales.orion dns server clearinghouse .sales.ny_ch
