p4 serverid
Get or set the unique ID associated with a Helix Server.
Syntax
p4 [g-opts] serverid [serverID]Description
We recommend that you use p4 serverid instead of P4NAME.
Unless a P4NAME value has been
specified for the server, the server uses the serverid to determine the
appropriate configuration settings. See p4 configure.
To avoid configuration problems, the value of serverID should always match the value of P4NAME if both are set. We
recommend setting serverID, but support P4NAME
for backward compatibility.
p4 serverid retrieves or sets the unique ID of a
Helix Server by reading or writing the server.id file in the
server’s root directory.
When you configure servers in a multi-server installation, assign to each server its own serverid and specify the server configuration for that serverid.
Use this command to create or update the server.id file
after first generating a unique ID for the server with the p4 server command.
The server.id file is in the server’s root directory,
and this file must be backed up. If you are using the p4 server command to
configure your servers, and one of your servers suffers a catastrophic
data loss, any attempt to restart the restored server requires that the server.id file be present (or
be re-created).
To reset the serverid
Before you can reset the value of the server's ID, you need to stop the shared service and remove the existing server.id file.
p4 admin stop cd your/server/root/directory rm server.id ./startperforce p4 serverid yourNewNameForTheServer
