All,
I'm trying to get a listing of all of the clients on my network (in
every region I support) in preparation for the upgrade to 4.0 (I would
like to automate this as much as possible).
When I read the man page on lsclients, it tells me that it contacts the
albd_server process on the specified host, and will list out the clients
that the albd_server knows about.
How do I flush that client list out of the albd_server process?
I hear you asking why would he want to do that? Well, according to the
albd_server man page, the client name is stored for 30 days in the cache
(from the last access) for each system. Au-contrair! I find. I have a
system:
1 vikingship: ClearCase 3.2 (SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-27 sun4u)
1 vikingship: ClearCase 3.2 (SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-29 sun4u)
As you can see, it is in the cache twice (the difference is the Jumbo
Kernel Patch that was applied -- in December!). I don't think that the
cache is being emptied. Which begs the question: is there a limit? What
gets thrown out or denied when the limit is reached?
(FYI, the command to produce the output above was: ct lsclient -host
hostname -type all | sort | uniq -c
I also tried all of the options on the -type option.)
AND, I searched the archives. Apparently this is not a problem? Or at
least has not been noticed before.
Any one have any input?
Or does it really matter? I know that in the script to update the
multiple hundreds of clients in three regions, I can pare it down to one
unique client name, but I was under the impression that the lsclients
command would do that for me.
Best regards,
Scott
