Description
The server object refers to servers residing on a host. This one object can affect both the running daemons and the configuration information used by dced to start that daemon. The distinction is usually obvious by the definition of the operation or by the name given as an argument. When this is not the case, the ambiguity is resolved by a required option.
Almost all of these commands contact the dced on the target host to perform their operations. Exceptions to this are noted below.
Some commands operate on a single server while other commands operate on more than one server. See the Arguments topic of this reference page for a description of how to specify server names.
Server configuration objects can contain application-specific extended registry attributes (ERAs). Only the ERAs can be modified after creation, other attributes cannot.
When the dced on the local machine is in partial service mode, you must use the -local option to access the server object. Specify only the residual portion of the object name to the server operation. For example, specify server/server_name, not /.:/hosts/host_name/config/server/server_name.
