/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb DCE_CDS, cdscp, show_cell  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 NAME

   show cell - 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.

   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.

   Privilege Required

   You must have read permission to the cell root directory.

 NOTE
   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

                    Replica Type = Readonly
