DESCRIPTION
The vos online command brings an offline volume on line with the fileserver.

CAUTIONS
None.

OPTIONS

-server <machine name>
    Identifies the file server machine where the volume resides. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see vos(1).

-partition <partition name>
    Identifies the partition where the volume resides, on the file server machine named by the -server argument. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for example, "/vicepa") or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details, see vos(1).

-id <volume name or ID>
    Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the volume.

-bless
    If the volume resides on a fileserver running as a dafs (Demand Attach File Server), then the volume may be marked as blessed or unblessed. A dafs server will not bring unblessed volumes online unless the -bless option to vos_online is specified. See vos_offline(1) for setting a volume to be unblessed.

-cell <cell name>
    Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-noauth
    Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-localauth
    Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /usr/afs/etc/KeyFile file. The vos command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).

-verbose
    Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages appear.

-encrypt
    Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted across the network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.11 or later and 1.5.60 or later.

-noresolve
    Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very useful when the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing with multi-homed servers. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or later.

-help
    Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES
The following example brings an offline volume online:

   % vos online -server sv7.stateu.edu -partition /vicepb -id root.afs

The following example brings an offline, unblessed volume online:

   % vos online -server sv7.stateu.edu -partition /vicepb -id root.afs -bless

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/UserList file on the machine specified with the -server argument and on each database server machine. If the -localauth flag is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local superuser "root".
