<P><I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I>
44
<P>This guide describes the concepts and procedures that a system
45
administrator must know to manage an AFS cell. It assumes familiarity
46
with UNIX, but requires no previous knowledge of AFS.
47
<P>The first chapters of the <I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I> present
48
basic concepts and guidelines. Understanding them is crucial to
49
successful administration of an AFS cell. The remaining chapters in the
50
guide provide step-by-step instructions for specific administrative tasks,
51
along with discussions of the concepts important to that particular

<P><I>IBM AFS Administration Reference</I>
54
<P>This reference manual details the syntax and effect of each AFS
55
command. It is intended for the experienced AFS administrator,
57
<P>The <I>IBM AFS Administration Reference</I> lists AFS files and
58
commands in alphabetical order. The reference page for each command
59
specifies its syntax, including the acceptable aliases and
60
abbreviations. It then describes the command's function,
61
arguments, and output if any. Examples and a list of related commands
62
are provided, as are warnings where appropriate.
63
<P>This manual complements the <I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I>:
64
it does not include procedural information, but describes commands in more
65
detail than the <I>IBM AFS Administration Guide</I>.
66
<P><I>IBM AFS Quick Beginnings</I>
67
<P>This guide provides instructions for installing AFS server and client
68
machines. It is assumed that the installer is an experienced UNIX<SUP>
69
<SUP>(R)</SUP></SUP> system administrator.
70
<P>For predictable performance, machines must be installed and configured in
71
accordance with the instructions in this guide.
72
<P><I>IBM AFS User Guide</I>
73
<P>This guide presents the basic concepts and procedures necessary for using
74
AFS effectively. It assumes that the reader has some experience with
75
UNIX, but does not require familiarity with networking or AFS.
76
<P>The guide explains how to perform basic functions, including
77
authenticating, changing a password, protecting AFS data, creating groups, and
78
troubleshooting. It provides illustrative examples for each function
79
and describes some of the differences between the UNIX file system and

85
<P><LI>Command and option names appear in <B>bold type</B> in syntax
86
definitions, examples, and running text. Names of directories, files,
87
machines, partitions, volumes, and users also appear in <B>bold
89
<P><LI>Variable information appears in <I>italic type</I>. This
90
includes user-supplied information on command lines and the parts of prompts
91
that differ depending on who issues the command. New terms also appear
92
in <I>italic type</I>.
93
<P><LI>Examples of screen output and file contents appear in <TT>monospace
96
<P>In addition, the following symbols appear in command syntax definitions,
97
both in the documentation and in AFS online help statements. When
98
issuing a command, do not type these symbols.
100
<P><LI>Square brackets <B>[ ]</B> surround optional items.
101
<P><LI>Angle brackets <B>< ></B> surround user-supplied values in AFS
103

<P><LI>The number sign <TT>#</TT> represents the command shell prompt for the
109
local superuser <B>root</B>. Some operating systems possibly use a
110
different character for this prompt.
111
<P><LI>The pipe symbol <B> |</B> in a command syntax statement separates
112
mutually exclusive values for an argument.
114
<P>For further information on the syntax and input rules for AFS commands, see
