registry object of the same name to adopt the orphan.
The -uuid option creates a principal, group, or organization and lets you specify the
UUID with which it should be associated instead of assigning it automatically. Except
for the manner in which it is created, a principal, group, or organization created by these
commands is no different from any other principal, group, or organization. The following
examples show how to use this option to create a principal, group, or organization to
adopt an orphaned registry object.
To create a principal associated with the UUID that owns the orphaned object, use the
following command:
principal create name -uuid uuid [-fullname fullname]\
[-quota object_creation_quota][-uid UNIX_number]
To create a group associated with the UUID that owns the orphaned object, use the
following command:
group create name -uuid uuid [-fullname string]\
[-inprojlist [yes | no]][-gid UNIX_number]
To create an organization associated with the UUID that owns the orphaned object, use
the following command:
group create name [-fullname string][-gid UNIX_number]
where:
name The principal’s, group’s, or organization’s primary
name.
uuid The UUID number to be assigned to the principal,
group, or organization. This UUID should be the one
that owns the orphaned object (that is, the one that was
associated with the deleted registry object). The UUID
is specified in RPC print string format as 8 hexadecimal
digits, a hyphen; 4 hexadecimal digits, a hyphen; 4
hexadecimal digits, a hyphen; 4 hexadecimal digits, a
hyphen; and 12 hexadecimal digits. The format is as
follows:
nnnnnnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnnnnnnnnnn
string The principal’s, group’s, or organization’s full name.
UNIX_number For cell principals only, the UNIX number to be
associated with the name. If you do not enter this
option, the next sequential UNIX number is supplied.
For all principals other than cells, the UNIX number is
extracted from information that is embedded in the
principal’s UUID and cannot be specified here.
object_creation_quota For principals only, the principal’s object creation quota.
If you do not enter this option, the default is unlimited.
