Description
The cellalias object allows you to create and display alternative names for cells, known as cell aliases. You can create multiple aliases for a single cell.
When you create an alias, cellalias does the following:
1. Creates a new principal to represent the cell in the registry.
2. Performs a registry verify operation to ensure that all Security replicas in the cell are up to date.
3. Creates the specified alias name in CDS using a cdsalias operation.
4. Performs a directory synchronize operation to ensure that all the CDS replicas are up to date.
5. Performs a hostdata operation on each host in the cell for which you are creating the alias.
6. Updates all dced objects and the dcelocal/dce_cf.db and dcelocal/etc/security/pe_site files to reflect the new alias name. (This action can take a long time to complete in a cell with many hosts.)
Attributes
The cellalias object has no attributes.
