DFS Administration Programs

DFS provides the following administration utilities:

· The salvage process checks the DCE LFS file system for internal consistency and corrects errors it finds.

· The fts commands help you manage filesets.

· The bak commands help you perform backup tasks.

· The cm commands help you customize the performance of the Cache Manager and examine features of DFS.

· The bos commands help you contact the Basic OverSeer (BOS) server used to monitor processes on server machines in your cell. You can also use the bos commands to perform some Security tasks.

· The scout program helps you monitor the File Exporters running on File Server machines. You may want to install scout only on the system administrator's DFS client machine.

· The newaggr command can format a raw disk partition for use as a DCE LFS aggregate.

· The dfsexport command makes DCE LFS aggregates and non-LFS partitions available to remote users through use of the File Exporter.
