| ## show cell(8cds) Displays the information you need to create a cell entry in either DNS or GDS Synopsis cdscp show cell cell-name [as type] Arguments cell-name The global name of the cell. as type The global namespace in which you want to define the cell. Enter either of the values dns or gds. The default is gds. Description The show cell command displays the information you need to create a cell entry in either the Domain Name System (DNS) or the Global Directory Service (GDS). DCE does not support cells registered simultaneously in GDS and DNS. If you want to define a cell in DNS, you can use this command to produce a preformatted set of resource records. You can then edit the appropriate DNS data file and copy the output directly into the file. In GDS, cell information is contained in two attributes: CDS-Cell and CDS-Replica. If you want to define a cell in GDS, you can use this command to obtain the data you need to supply when creating the CDS-Cell and CDS-Replica attributes. For details, see the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components . Privileges Required You must have r (read) permission to the cell root directory. Notes This command may be replaced in future releases by the dcecp command, and may no longer be supported at that time. Examples The following command displays the GDS-formatted output in the local cell: cdscp> show cell /.../abc.com as gds SHOW CELL /.../abc.com AT 1991-10-15-15:58:25 Namespace Uuid = 2d2d50ad-8b1a-11ba-8983-08002b0f79aa Clearinghouse Uuid = 2ab024a8-8b1a-11ba-8983-08002b0f79aa Clearinghouse Name = /.../abc.com/NY_CH Replica Type = Master Tower 1 = ncadg_ip_udp:16.18.17.33 Tower 2 = ncacn_ip_tcp:16.18.17.33 Namespace Uuid = 2d2d50ad-8b1a-11ba-8983-08002b0f79aa Clearinghouse Uuid = 49757f28-8b1a-11ba-8983-08002b0f79aa Clearinghouse Name = /.../abc.com/Boston_CH Replica Type = Readonly Tower 1 = ncadg_ip_udp:16.18.17.33 Tower 2 = ncacn_ip_tcp:16.18.17.33 Related Information Book: OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components ##
