CONVERT/CONFIGURATION_BIND

Converts the UCX BIND Version 4.x name server configuration to the BIND Version 8.1 format. Applies to the BIND name server. Use this command if you have a BIND configuration from an earlier release (Version 4.2 or lower) of the TCP/IP Services software. This command extracts the BIND configuration information from the file UCX$CONFIGURATION.DAT and creates the ASCII file TCPIP$BIND.CONF.

Related commands: SET CONFIGURATION BIND, SHOW CONFIGURATION BIND


Format

CONVERT/CONFIGURATION BIND [bind_conf_file] [/CLUSTER=lbroker_conf_file]


Parameters

bind_conf_file

Optional. Default: SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]TCPIP$BIND.CONF.

Qualifiers

/CLUSTER=lbroker_conf_file

Optional. Default: SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$LD_BKR]TCPIP$LBROKER.CONF

Creates the file used by the load broker for cluster load balancing. Here, lbroker_conf_file specifies the name of the load broker configuration file.


Examples

#1

TCPIP> CONVERT /CONFIGURATION  BIND - 
_TCPIP /CLUSTER=SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$LD_BKR]TCPIP$LBROKER.CONF
      

Converts the UCX BIND server configuration to BIND Version 8.1 format and creates the configuration file SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]TCPIP$BIND.CONF. The /CLUSTER qualifier creates the configuration file TCPIP$LBROKER.CONF used by the load broker.

#2

TCPIP> CONVERT /CONFIGURATION  BIND SITE2_BIND.CONF

See the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management guide for more information about the BIND name server, resolver, and load broker.


CONVERT/UNIX BIND

Creates a BIND server database and populates it with records from the local host and MX databases. This command will create either a forward translation file or a reverse translation file. If you specify a domain.name that ends in IN-ADDR.arpa , a reverse translation file is created.

Related commands: SET HOST, SET MX_RECORD


Format

CONVERT/UNIX BIND

/DOMAIN=domain.name [ /[NO]LOG ]
