Converts the UCX BIND Version 4.x name server configuration to the BIND Version 8.1 format. Applies to the BIND name server. Use this command if you have a BIND configuration from an earlier release (Version 4.2 or lower) of the TCP/IP Services software. This command extracts the BIND configuration information from the file UCX$CONFIGURATION.DAT and creates the ASCII file TCPIP$BIND.CONF.

Related commands: SET CONFIGURATION BIND, SHOW CONFIGURATION BIND

Format

CONVERT/CONFIGURATION BIND [bind_conf_file] [/CLUSTER=lbroker_conf_file]

Parameters

bind_conf_file

Optional. Default: SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]TCPIP$BIND.CONF.

Specifies the alternate name or location of the BIND configuration file to be created.

Qualifiers

/CLUSTER=lbroker_conf_file

Optional. Default: SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$LD_BKR]TCPIP$LBROKER.CONF

Creates the file used by the load broker for cluster load balancing. Here, lbroker_conf_file specifies the name of the load broker configuration file.

Examples

TCPIP> CONVERT /CONFIGURATION  BIND - 
_TCPIP /CLUSTER=SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$LD_BKR]TCPIP$LBROKER.CONF
      

Converts the UCX BIND server configuration to BIND Version 8.1 format and creates the configuration file SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]TCPIP$BIND.CONF. The /CLUSTER qualifier creates the configuration file TCPIP$LBROKER.CONF used by the load broker.

TCPIP> CONVERT /CONFIGURATION  BIND SITE2_BIND.CONF
      

Converts the UCX BIND server configuration and creates the configuration file SITE2_BIND.CONF.

See the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management guide for more information about the BIND name server, resolver, and load broker.

Creates a BIND server database and populates it with records from the local host and MX databases. This command will create either a forward translation file or a reverse translation file. If you specify a domain.name that ends in IN-ADDR.arpa , a reverse translation file is created.

Related commands: SET HOST, SET MX_RECORD

Format

CONVERT/UNIX BIND

/DOMAIN=domain.name [ /[NO]LOG ]

Qualifiers

/DOMAIN=domain.name

Required.

Domain for which to extract data. Determines whether to perform forward translation or reverse translation. The following restrictions and instructions apply:

• The domain name must be fully qualified.
• The closing dot is not required.
• Do not use wildcards.
• Specify up to four parts of the IP address for varying degrees of selectivity. For example:
  /DOMAIN=16.IN-ADDR.arpa is less selective.
  /DOMAIN=8.20.16.IN-ADDR.arpa is more selective.

The end of domain.name determines whether a forward or reverse translation is performed. For example:

• If the domain name ends in IN-ADDR.arpa:
  • Reverse translation is performed.
  • The domain is some part of an IP address, reversed, and added to IN-ADDR.arpa.
  • The selection includes the contents of the hosts database in the output.
• If the domain name ends in anything else (for example, /DOMAIN=DAW.MAG.COM ):
  • Forward translation is performed.
  • All hosts in domain.name or in any of its subdomains are selected for the output file.
  • CONVERT/UNIX BIND does a forward translation and selects hosts in DAW.MAG.COM and in its subdomains.

/LOG

/NOLOG

Optional. Default: /NOLOG.

Shows records as they are processed.

Examples

TCPIP> CONVERT/UNIX BIND /DOMAIN=KESTREL.SMALL.FALCON
  
      

On host KESTREL, creates a BIND server database with default file name SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$BIND]KESTREL_SMALL_FALCON.DB.
