There must be no VLDB entries that list the machine as a site for any version of a volume (if necessary, use the \fBvos move\fR or \fBvos remove\fR command to move or remove volumes). It is appropriate to remove a VLDB server entry when removing the corresponding file server machine from service. .PP To display all VLDB server entries, use the \fBvos listaddrs\fR command. .SH CAUTIONS .IX Header "CAUTIONS" Combining the command's \fB\-oldaddr\fR and \fB\-newaddr\fR arguments is no longer the appropriate way to change the IP address registered for a file server machine. Furthermore, if a machine is multihomed and its server entry includes several addresses, then the address specified with the \&\fB\-newaddr\fR argument replaces all of the addresses currently listed in the server entry that includes the address specified by the \fB\-oldaddr\fR argument. This effectively makes the machine single-homed with respect to AFS operations, which is probably not the desired result. .PP The recommended method for changing the IP addresses in a server entry is instead to restart the \f(CW\*(C`fs\*(C'\fR process group (which includes the File Server) after using the utilities provided by the operating system to reconfigure the machine's network interfaces. For a description of how the File Server constructs and registers a list of its network interfaces in the VLDB, see \fBsysid\fR\|(5). .PP If, counter to recommended usage, the command is used to change the IP address in a server entry, it does not also change the names of machine entries in the Protection Database. Operations fail when they refer to a protection group that has an obsolete IP address in it. Use the \fBpts rename\fR command to change the names of machine entries that correspond to the addresses changed with this command. Changing the address of a database server machine also requires updating the client and server versions of the \fICellServDB\fR file on every machine. .SH OPTIONS .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-oldaddr\fR <\fIoriginal IP address\fR>" 4 .IX Item "-oldaddr " Specifies the IP address currently registered for the file server machine in the VLDB server entry. If there are multiple addresses registered for a multihomed machine, use any of them to identify the server entry. .IP "\fB\-newaddr\fR <\fInew IP address\fR>" 4 .IX Item "-newaddr " Specifies the new IP address that replaces all currently registered addresses. .Sp Unless the \fB\-force\fR option is given, \fBvos changeaddr\fR will refuse to change addresses when the address given in \fB\-oldaddr\fR is registered with a multihomed server entry in the VLDB. See "CAUTIONS". .IP \fB\-remove\fR 4 .IX Item "-remove" Removes from the VLDB the server entry that includes the address specified by the \fB\-oldaddr\fR argument. .IP \fB\-force\fR 4 .IX Item "-force" Overrides the multihomed server entry check when the \fB\-oldaddr\fR and \&\fB\-newaddr\fR options are combined. The \fB\-force\fR flag is provided for historical compatibility and is not recommended. .IP "\fB\-cell\fR <\fIcell name\fR>" 4 .IX Item "-cell " Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the \fB\-localauth\fR flag. For more details, see \fBvos\fR\|(1). .IP \fB\-noauth\fR 4 .IX Item "-noauth" Assigns the unprivileged identity \f(CW\*(C`anonymous\*(C'\fR to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the \fB\-localauth\fR flag. For more details, see \&\fBvos\fR\|(1). .IP \fB\-localauth\fR 4 .IX Item "-localauth" Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local \&\fI/etc/openafs/server/KeyFile\fR file. The \fBvos\fR command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the \fB\-cell\fR argument or \&\fB\-noauth\fR flag. For more details, see \fBvos\fR\|(1). .IP \fB\-verbose\fR 4 .IX Item "-verbose" Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages appear. .IP \fB\-encrypt\fR 4 .IX Item "-encrypt" Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted across the network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.11 or later and 1.5.60 or later. .IP \fB\-noresolve\fR 4 .IX Item "-noresolve" Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very useful when the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing with multi-homed servers. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or later. .IP "\fB\-config\fR <\fIconfiguration directory\fR>" 4 .IX Item "-config " Set the location of the configuration directory to be used. This defaults to \&\fI/etc/openafs\fR, except if \fB\-localauth\fR is specified, in which case the default is \fI/etc/openafs/server\fR. This option allows the use of alternative configuration locations for testing purposes. .IP \fB\-help\fR 4 .IX Item "-help" Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. .SH EXAMPLES .IX Header "EXAMPLES" The following command removes the VLDB server entry that includes the IP address \f(CW192.12.107.214\fR. .PP .Vb 1 \& % vos changeaddr \-oldaddr 192.12.107.214 \-remove .Ve .SH "PRIVILEGE REQUIRED" .IX Header "PRIVILEGE REQUIRED" Issuer must be listed in the \fI/etc/openafs/server/UserList\fR file on the machine specified with the \fB\-oldaddr\fR argument and on each database server machine. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBCellServDB\fR\|(5), \&\fBUserList\fR\|(5), \&\fBsysid\fR\|(5), \&\fBfileserver\fR\|(8), \&\fBpts_rename\fR\|(1), \&\fBvos\fR\|(1), \&\fBvos_listaddrs\fR\|(1) .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" IBM Corporation 2000.
