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).
