NAME

fs_uuid - Prints the uuid of the client or generates a new one

SYNOPSIS

fs uuid [-generate] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-generate

Generates a new UUID for the cache manager. This is useful if two clients share the same UUID (if systems were cloned incorrectly, for example). -generate is optional.

-help

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

OUTPUT

fs uuid prints out the current UUID for the client or the new UUID if the -generate option is passed to it.
