| ## cellalias(8dce) Creates and manages cell name aliases. Synopsis cellalias catalog cellalias create cellalias_name [-force] cellalias help [operation | -verbose] cellalias operations Arguments cellalias_name A single fully qualified alias name for the cell alias in the form: /…/cellalias_name operation The name of the cellalias operation for which to display help information. 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. More: Errors Operations ###
