Configuring HP DCE Cells
Configuring Cells Using dce_config
Configuring GDA Servers
The DCE Global Directory Agent (GDA) facilitates communication between DCE cells. This section describes how to start the GDA server. Before you start a GDA server, see “Establishing Intercell Communication” in Chapter 7 for information about establishing intercell communication with GDA.
1.Start dce_config on the GDA server system.
2.From the DCE Configuration Menu, choose Additional Server Configuration:
selection: 2 (Additional Server Configuration)
3. Choose GDA Server:
selection: 7 (GDA Server)
The system configures the GDA server and starts the GDA server daemon, gdad.
Creating a Security Server Replica
A feature of HP DCE/9000 is Security Server Replication, which provides improved cell performance and reliability. These steps will allow you to create a security replica via dce_config.
1. From the DCE Configuration Menu:
DCE Configuration Menu
selection: 2 (Additional Server Configuration)
2.From the Additional Server Configuration Menu, choose Replica Security Server:
Additional Server Configuration (on hostname) selection: 8 (Replica Security Server) S******:Configuring Security Replication S:****** starting slave security server (secd)…
The default name for the replica is subsys/dce/sec/$HOSTNAME. If you want to change the name of the security replica that is created by dce_config, change the value of SEC_REPLICA, either in /etc/opt/dce/ dce_com_env, or in the shell environment from which dce_config is run. Note that you must do this before running dce_config.
