17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19The B<backup listhosts> command displays the Backup Database record of the
20port offset numbers defined for Tape Coordinator machines. A Tape
21Coordinator must have an entry in the list to be available for backup
22operations.
23
24The existence of an entry does not necessarily indicate that the Tape
25Coordinator process (B<butc>) is currently running at that port offset. To
26check, issue the B<backup status> command.
27
28=head1 OPTIONS
29
30=over 4
31
32=item B<-localauth>
33
34Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
35F</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<backup> command interpreter presents
36it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
37authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For
38more details, see L<backup(8)>.
39
40=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
41
42Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
43with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L<backup(8)>.
44
45=item B<-help>
46
47Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
48ignored.

51
52=head1 OUTPUT
53
54After a C<Tape hosts:> header, the output reports two things about each
55Tape Coordinator currently defined in the Backup Database:
56
57=over 4
58
59=item *
60
61The hostname of the machine housing the Tape Coordinator. The format of
62this name depends on the hostname format used when the B<backup addhost>
63command was issued.
64
65=item *
66
67The Tape Coordinator's port offset number.
68
69=back
70
71The Tape Coordinators appear in the order in which they were added to the
72Backup Database.
73
74=head1 EXAMPLES
75
76The following example shows the result of the command in the Example
77Corporation cell:
78
79 % backup listhosts
80 Tape hosts:
81 Host backup1.example.com, port offset 0
82 Host backup1.example.com, port offset 1
83 Host backup3.example.com, port offset 4
84 Host backup2.example.com, port offset 3
85
86=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
87
88The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on every
89machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a
90server machine as the local superuser C<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is
91included.
