If there is no activity, the following message appears: .PP .Vb 1 \& No active transactions on .Ve .PP This command is useful mainly if there is concern that the Volume Server is not performing requested actions. .SH OPTIONS .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-server\fR <\fIserver name\fR>" 4 .IX Item "-server " Identifies the file server machine running the Volume Server for which to display status information. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see \fBvos\fR\|(1). .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 OUTPUT .IX Header "OUTPUT" There are two possible types of output. .PP The following message indicates that the Volume Server is not currently performing any actions. .PP .Vb 1 \& No active transactions on I .Ve .PP The other possible output is a set of information which is probably more useful to programmers than to system administrators. A full understanding of all the fields requires familiarity with the code for the Volume Server, as many of the fields report ID numbers and flag values that the Volume Server sets for internal use. .PP Among the fields of possible interest to an administrator are: .IP \(bu 4 \&\f(CW\*(C`created\*(C'\fR on the first line, which indicates the time at which this transaction started .IP \(bu 4 In OpenAFS 1.5.75 and later, \f(CW\*(C`lastActiveTime\*(C'\fR on the second line, which indicates the last time an RPC interacted with this transaction .IP \(bu 4 \&\f(CW\*(C`attachFlags\*(C'\fR on the third line, where a value of \f(CW\*(C`offline\*(C'\fR indicates that the volume is not available for other read or write operations during this transaction .IP \(bu 4 \&\f(CW\*(C`volume\*(C'\fR on the fourth line, which specifies the affected volume's ID number .IP \(bu 4 \&\f(CW\*(C`partition\*(C'\fR on the fourth line, which indicates where the affected volume resides (at the beginning of the transaction if this is a move) .IP \(bu 4 \&\f(CW\*(C`procedure\*(C'\fR on the fourth line, which indicates the internal subprocedure being executed .PP A fifth line can appear during certain transactions, and includes the following fields: .IP \(bu 4 \&\f(CW\*(C`packetRead\*(C'\fR tracks whether information is being read into the volume. Its absolute value is not informative, but the way it changes shows whether the \fBvos restore\fR command is executing properly. As the \&\fBvos status\fR command is issued repeatedly during a restore, \f(CW\*(C`readNext\*(C'\fR increases monotonically to indicate that information is being read into the volume. .IP \(bu 4 \&\f(CW\*(C`packetSend\*(C'\fR tracks whether information is being sent out of the volume. Its absolute value is not informative, but the way it changes shows whether the \fBvos dump\fR command is executing properly. As the \fBvos status\fR command is issued repeatedly during a dump, \f(CW\*(C`transmitNext\*(C'\fR increases monotonically to indicate that information is being transferred from the volume into the dump file. .PP The \f(CW\*(C`lastReceiveTime\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`lastSendTime\*(C'\fR are for internal use. .SH EXAMPLES .IX Header "EXAMPLES" The following example illustrates the kind of output that sometimes appears when the Volume Server on \f(CW\*(C`fs1.example.com\*(C'\fR is executing a dump at the time this command is issued. .PP .Vb 8 \& % vos status fs1.example.com \& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \& transaction: 575 created: Tue Jan 2 8:34:56 1990 \& attachFlags: offline \& volume: 536871080 partition: /vicepb procedure: Dump \& packetRead: 2 lastReceiveTime: 113313 packetSend: 24588 \& lastSendTime: 113317 \& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- .Ve .SH "PRIVILEGE REQUIRED" .IX Header "PRIVILEGE REQUIRED" None .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBvos\fR\|(1) .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" IBM Corporation 2000.
