Configuring HP DCE Cells

Configuring Cells Using dce_config

•REMOVE_PREV_INSTALL: Set to y to remove all remnants of previous DCE installations for all components before installing a security server. Use only in installing the security server software. Default is n.

•REMOVE_PREV_CONFIG: Set to y to remove all remnants of previous DCE configurations for all components before configuring a client or an initial CDS server. Default is n.

•REP_CLEARINGHOUSE: Name for new clearinghouse.

•SEC_SERVER: Name of the security server for this cell.

•SEC_SERVER_IP: IP address for $SEC_SERVER.

•SYNC_CLOCKS: Set to y to synchronize client clock with that of the security server; n otherwise. If not set, and clocks are out of sync by more than $TOLERANCE_SEC, user is prompted for whether to synchronize. This variable is irrelevant if CHECK_TIME is set to n.

•TOLERANCE_SEC: Number of seconds client node system clock is allowed to differ from security server system clock before warning that clocks are not in sync and allowing input to synchronize. Default is 120 seconds. Note: Security and Cell Directory services require less than a 5 minute difference between any two nodes in the cell.

•UID_GAP: Increment above highest currently-used UID at which the Registry Service will start assigning automatically-generated UIDs. Default is 100.

•UNCONFIG_HOST_PRESET: Host name of node to be unconfigured.
