17 =head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19 The B<fs listcells> command formats and displays the list of the database
20 server machines that the Cache Manager stores in kernel memory for its
21 home cell and foreign cells.
22
23 At each reboot of the client machine, the Cache Manager copies the
24 contents of F</usr/vice/etc/CellServDB> into kernel memory. To modify the
25 list between reboots, use the B<fs newcell> command.

27 =head1 OPTIONS
28
29 =over 4
30
31 =item B<-numeric>
32
33 Displays each database server machine's IP address rather than hostname.
34
35 =item B<-help>
36
37 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
38 ignored.

42 =head1 OUTPUT
43
44 The output includes a line for each cell included in the Cache Manager's
45 kernel memory list, in the following format:
46
47 Cell <cell> on hosts <database server machines>
48
49 The Cache Manager stores IP addresses, but by default has them translated
50 to hostnames before reporting them, by passing them to the cell's name
51 service (such as the Domain Name Service or a local host table). The name
52 service sometimes returns hostnames in uppercase letters, or an IP address
53 if it cannot resolve a name.
54
55 Using the B<-numeric> flag bypasses the translation to hostnames, which
56 can result in significantly faster production of output. The output
57 includes IP addresses only.
58
59 =head1 EXAMPLES
60
61 The following example shows output for several cells as illustrations of
62 the different formats for machine names:
63
64 % fs listcells
65 Cell example.com on hosts fs1.example.com fs2.example.com fs3.example.com
66 Cell example.org on hosts DB1.FS.EXAMPLE.ORG
67 DB2.FS.EXAMPLE.ORG DB3.FS.EXAMPLE.ORG
68 Cell example.net on hosts 138.255.0.2 sv3.example.net
