  27 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  28
  29 The B<vos changeaddr> command removes a server entry from the Volume
  30 Location Database (VLDB) when the B<-remove> flag is combined with the
  31 B<-oldaddr> argument. There must be no VLDB entries that list the machine
  32 as a site for any version of a volume (if necessary, use the B<vos move>
  33 or B<vos remove> command to move or remove volumes). It is appropriate to
  34 remove a VLDB server entry when removing the corresponding file server
  35 machine from service.
  36
  37 To display all VLDB server entries, use the B<vos listaddrs> command.
  38
  39 =head1 CAUTIONS
  40
  41 Combining the command's B<-oldaddr> and B<-newaddr> arguments is no longer
  42 the appropriate way to change the IP address registered for a file server
  43 machine. Furthermore, if a machine is multihomed and its server entry
  44 includes several addresses, then the address specified with the
  45 B<-newaddr> argument replaces all of the addresses currently listed in the
  46 server entry that includes the address specified by the B<-oldaddr>
  47 argument. This effectively makes the machine single-homed with respect to
  48 AFS operations, which is probably not the desired result.
  49
  50 The recommended method for changing the IP addresses in a server entry is
  51 instead to restart the C<fs> process group (which includes the File
  52 Server) after using the utilities provided by the operating system to
  53 reconfigure the machine's network interfaces. For a description of how the
  54 File Server constructs and registers a list of its network interfaces in
  55 the VLDB, see L<sysid(5)>.
  56
  57 If, counter to recommended usage, the command is used to change the IP
  58 address in a server entry, it does not also change the names of machine
  59 entries in the Protection Database. Operations fail when they refer to a
  60 protection group that has an obsolete IP address in it. Use the B<pts
  61 rename> command to change the names of machine entries that correspond to
  62 the addresses changed with this command. Changing the address of a
  63 database server machine also requires updating the client and server
  64 versions of the F<CellServDB> file on every machine.
  65
  66 =head1 OPTIONS
  67
  68 =over 4
  69
  70 =item B<-oldaddr> <I<original IP address>>
  71
  72 Specifies the IP address currently registered for the file server machine
  73 in the VLDB server entry. If there are multiple addresses registered for a
  74 multihomed machine, use any of them to identify the server entry.
  75
  76 =item B<-newaddr> <I<new IP address>>
  77
  78 Specifies the new IP address that replaces all currently registered
  79 addresses.
  80
  81 Unless the B<-force> option is given, B<vos changeaddr> will refuse to change
  82 addresses when the address given in B<-oldaddr> is registered with a multihomed
  83 server entry in the VLDB. See L</CAUTIONS>.
  84
  85 =item B<-remove>
  86
  87 Removes from the VLDB the server entry that includes the address specified
  88 by the B<-oldaddr> argument.
  89
  90 =item B<-force>
  91
  92 Overrides the multihomed server entry check when the B<-oldaddr> and
  93 B<-newaddr> options are combined. The B<-force> flag is provided for historical
  94 compatibility and is not recommended.

 100 =head1 EXAMPLES
 101
 102 The following command removes the VLDB server entry that includes the IP
 103 address C<192.12.107.214>.
 104
 105    % vos changeaddr -oldaddr 192.12.107.214 -remove

 108
 109 Issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the machine
 110 specified with the B<-oldaddr> argument and on each database server
 111 machine.
