NAME
servers - map server names to numbers
DESCRIPTION
Each file server has a file, /vice/db/servers, which maps server names to numbers. The server numbers are 8 bit numbers so a maximum of 256 servers can be supported. Once a server number has been assigned, it may not be reused. You should not reassign a server a new id without initializing the server.
The server numbers are used in too many places, probably the most important is in the creation of volumes. The server creating a volume uses its server number as the first byte of the four-byte volume identification number in order to ensure uniqueness.
NOTE: Replicated volume numbers must also be unique, so we reserve part of the range, 0-127 (0-7F hex), for this purpose. Real server numbers must not be allocated from the other subrange, and vice-versa.
The format of the file is the full server name (e.g. mahler.coda.cs.cmu.edu) followed by a tab and then the servers number. Any line beginning with a "\#" is considered a comment and is ignored. The following is an example servers file:
MAHLER.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 201 GRIEG.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 204 HAYDN.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 205 WAGNER.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 206 DEBUSSY.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 212 SCARLATTI.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 214 ROSSINI.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 215 PUCCINI.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 216 GERSHWIN.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 218 SCHUMANN.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU 219
FILES
/vice/db/servers
BUGS
The server numbers and replicated volume prefixes are pulled from the same number space. Separation is enforced only by convention.
This file and /vice/db/hosts should be combined.
