You can directly change ERA information by using a server modify operation. The

following example changes a server’s ERA called objfamily to contain new values. This

operation assumes the ERA has already been created using an xattrschema create

operation described in Section 10.1.17.

dcecp> server modify /.:/hosts/silver/conﬁg/srvrconf/video_clip \

-change {objfamily {c09dcc40-e4f4-11cd-bd59-0000c08adf56}}

10.1.9 Checking Whether Servers Are Running

You can check whether a particular server is running by performing a server ping

operation. This might be a convenient test when some client users report they can’t

commmunicate with a server. The server ping operation communicates with the named

server to test its presence, returning a 1 is a server is listening and a 0 if it is not listening.

The following example tests whether the video_clip server is running:

dcecp> server ping /.:/hosts/silver/conﬁg/srvrconf/video_clip
