Configuring HP DCE Cells

Configuring Cells Using dce_config

•dce_config_env: Sets common environment variables used by dce_config.

•dce_config_utils: Common internal routines used by dce_config.

•/sbin/init.d/dce[start stop]: Starts or stops HP DCE daemons. Cannot be run remotely; must be run on DCE client or server node.

•/etc/rc.config.d/dce: Read by /sbin/init.d/dce to determine which daemons to start.

dce_config Environment Variables

dce_config recognizes the following environment variables. If these environment variables are set and exported before dce_config is run in interactive mode, possible corresponding prompts for information will be skipped.

•REMOTE_ADMIN: If you set the variable REMOTE_ADMIN to y (using a command such as “export REMOTE_ADMIN=y”) before you run dce_config or dcm on an HP DCE 1.7 system, then dced is started with the command dced -b-rand /etc/rc.config.d/dce is updated to include DCED_SWITCHES= -r. You can also set REMOTE_ADMIN in the config.env file if you run dce_config non- interactively.

•CACHE_CDS_SERVER: Name of a CDS server in cell to cache. Need not be the initial CDS Server.

•CACHE_CDS_SERVER_IP: IP address of $CACHE_CDS_SERVER.

•CELL_ADMIN: Principal name of the Cell Administrator; either for an existing cell or for a to-be-configured cell.

•CELL_ADMIN_PW: Password for the Cell Administrator, either for an existing cell or for a to-be-configured cell.

•CELL_NAME: Name of your cell (without /…/).

•CHANGE_PW: This internal variable tracks whether dce_config receives the warning “Password must be changed” to indicate the cell administrator password is the same as the default password. Initial value is n; do not alter this initial value.
