1.1.3 Creating and Deleting Files

The CREATE commands create the following kinds of files:

1.1.4 Adding and Deleting Records

To add and delete records from the TCP/IP Services databases, use the CONVERT, ADD, and REMOVE management commands.

Use the following commands to add records to and delete records from the proxy and export databases:

You cannot modify information that you enter into databases. Instead, delete the record with the REMOVE command and then issue a new ADD command.

TCP/IP Services provides the following kinds of CONVERT management commands:

1.1.5 Starting and Stopping Software

You can start and stop software components interactively by using the following commands:

For example:


TCPIP> START ROUTING /SUPPLY 

For the server components that are started by the auxiliary server upon an incoming client request, the ENABLE SERVICE command tells the the auxiliary server to listen for requests and act upon them.

The DISABLE SERVICE command tells the auxiliary server to stop listening for incoming requests.

Use the following commands to set components to start when TCP/IP Services starts. The permanent configuration is stored in the configuration database.

1.1.6 Validating Data Integrity

Use the following commands to verify the integrity of TCP/IP Services files:

1.1.7 Managing NFS

The NFS server requires the following management commands:

1.1.8 Using NFS

The TCP/IP Services software includes commands for using NFS. Use the following commands to view container file systems and to copy files to and from them:

For using the NFS client (working with files that reside on remote hosts), TCP/IP Services software provides the following commands:

1.1.9 Displaying Information

The SHOW and LIST commands display configuration, status, and performance information.

1.2 UNIX Management Commands

You can use UNIX management commands to manage the TCP/IP Services software. Table 1-3 describes the supported UNIX commands.

Table 1-3 UNIX Management Commands
Command Description
ifconfig Configures or displays network interface parameters, redefines an address for a particular interface, or sets options such as an alias list, broadcast address, or access filter.
netstat Displays network statistics of sockets, data link counters, specified protocols or aliases, network interfaces, and a host's routing table.
sysconfig Displays and maintains the network subsystem attributes.
route Allows you to manipulate the routing table manually. Normally, a system routing table management component, such as GATED or ROUTED, will tend to this task.
arp Controls and displays ARP tables for the specified host.
ripquery Requests all routes known by a RIP gateway by sending a RIP request or a POLL command.
traceroute Displays the route that packets take to a network host.

To use UNIX management commands at the DCL prompt, execute the command procedure SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS.COM. For example:


$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS 

This command procedure defines process-specific commands that enable you to enter UNIX commands from the DCL prompt. Note that execution of a UNIX command in a DCL command procedure does not return an error in $STATUS, so you cannot test for the failure of a UNIX comand in a DCL command procedure.

The following command shows how to obtain information about an interface configured on your host. Note the use of quotation marks to preserve the case of the input:


$ ifconfig "WF0" 

The following is displayed:


WF0: flags=c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX> 
     rxmt 1000, reach time 30000, dad tries 1, MT 4352, hops 64, token len 64 
     inet 16.20.208.100 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 16.20.255.255 ipmtu 4470 
     inet6 fe80::200:f8ff:fe66:2e35 

You must enclose uppercase options in quotation marks when entering UNIX commands at the DCL prompt.

For more information about UNIX command options and flags, refer to the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Tuning and Troubleshooting manual, or enter HELP unix_command at the TCPIP> prompt. For example, to display information about the netstat command, enter:


 
TCPIP> HELP NETSTAT

Command Descriptions

This chapter describes the TCP/IP Services management commands in alphabetical order.

For information about how to enter commands, see Chapter 1.


ADD EXPORT

Adds an export entry, in the form of a UNIX path name, to the export database for a Network File System (NFS) file system. The path name is a name that is mapped to one of the following:

Related commands: MAP, REMOVE EXPORT, SET CONFIGURATION MAP, SHOW EXPORT, SHOW HOST

Applies to: NFS server


Format

ADD EXPORT "/path/name" /HOST=host
[ /OPTIONS=
[NO]DATA_CONVERSION
[NO]NAME_CONVERSION
[NO]PURGE_VERSIONS
[NO]TYPELESS_DIRECTORIES ]

restrictions and tips

This command requires read and write access to the export database. The following restrictions and instructions apply:

Parameters

"/path/name"

Required.

File system to add to the export database.

Separate directory and subdirectory names with slashes.


Qualifiers

/HOST=host

Required.

The NFS client host or hosts that will have access to the specified NFS file system.

You can use a wildcard to allow access to all hosts.

/OPTIONS= { [NO]DATA_CONVERSION |[NO]NAME_CONVERSION |[NO]PURGE_VERSIONS |[NO]TYPELESS_DIRECTORIES }

Optional.

Note

For clients operating in OpenVMS to OpenVMS mode, the server ignores the options in the export record and uses the settings required for OpenVMS to OpenVMS mode.

Options for the specified directory:


Examples

#1

TCPIP> ADD EXPORT "/gold/finch" /HOST=GOLD
      

Adds the name of UNIX directory /gold/finch to the export database and gives NFS client users on the remote host gold access to this directory.

#2

TCPIP> ADD EXPORT "/gold/finch" /HOST=(PURPLE,FINCH)
      

Adds the directory /gold/finch to the export database and gives NFS client users on multiple remote hosts (PURPLE and FINCH) access to this directory.


ADD PROXY

Adds entries to the proxy database that give remote users an OpenVMS identity (account name). Applies to the NFS server, NFS client, PC-NFS, RSH, LPR/LPD, and customer-developed services.

The proxy database contains communication proxies and NFS proxies:

You can combine NFS and communication proxies in one record.

Related commands: SHOW HOST, DCL command AUTHORIZE, CONVERT/VMS PROXY, REMOVE PROXY, SHOW PROXY


Format for Communication Proxies

ADD PROXY user { /HOST=host | /REMOTE_USER=user }
[ /PERMANENT ]


Format for NFS Proxies

ADD PROXY user { /GID=n | /HOST=host | /UID=n }
[ /NFS=options ]
[ /PERMANENT ]

restrictions and tips

Requires read and write access to the proxy database and one of the following privileges:

For each host, define both its host name and alias names.

For each entry, use uppercase and lowercase consistently.


Parameters

user

Required.

Local OpenVMS identity for the user of: NFS server, NFS client, PC-NFS, remote shell, or LPR/LPD.


Qualifiers

/GID=n

Required for an NFS proxy.
