NAME

       fs_listcells - Displays the database server machines known to the Cache
       Manager

SYNOPSIS

       fs listcells [-numeric] [-help]

       fs listc [-n] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs listcells command formats and displays the list of the database
       server machines that the Cache Manager stores in kernel memory for its
       home cell and foreign cells.

       At each reboot of the client machine, the Cache Manager copies the
       contents of /etc/openafs/CellServDB into kernel memory. To modify the
       list between reboots, use the fs newcell command.

OPTIONS

       -numeric
           Displays each database server machine’s IP address rather than
           hostname.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
           are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The output includes a line for each cell included in the Cache
       Manager’s kernel memory list, in the following format:

          Cell <cell> on hosts <database server machines>

       The Cache Manager stores IP addresses, but by default has them
       translated to hostnames before reporting them, by passing them to the
       cell’s name service (such as the Domain Name Service or a local host
       table). The name service sometimes returns hostnames in uppercase
       letters, or an IP address if it cannot resolve a name.

       Using the -numeric flag bypasses the translation to hostnames, which
       can result in significantly faster production of output. The output
       includes IP addresses only.

EXAMPLES

       The following example shows output for several cells as illustrations
       of the different formats for machine names:

          % fs listcells
          Cell abc.com on hosts fs1.abc.com fs2.abc.com fs3.abc.com
          Cell stateu.edu on hosts DB1.FS.STATEU.EDU
             DB2.FS.STATEU.EDU DB3.FS.STATEU.EDU
          Cell def.gov on hosts 138.255.0.2 sv3.def.gov
