Get or set the unique ID associated with a Helix Core server.
p4 [g-opts] serverid [serverID]
p4 serverid
retrieves or sets the unique ID of a
Helix Core
server by reading or writing the server.id
file in the
server’s root directory.
Unless a P4NAME
value has been
specified for the server, the server uses the serverid to determine the
appropriate configuration settings. See p4 configure
.
The recommended technique for configuring servers in a multi-server
installation is to give each server its own serverid, and specify the
server configuration for that serverid; specifying a separates P4NAME
for the server is generally
not necessary,
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 exists in the server’s root directory,
and 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, the restored server will require that this file be present (or
be re-created) in order to correctly configure itself upon restart.
