DNS$CPHELP.HLB  —  create  dns  server  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).

 node .sales.orion.
