Before Installing HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7

Preinstallation Planning

If you are running AFS, be sure to run the AFS daemon (afsd) with the -nosettimeoption. Otherwise, afsd periodically resets the system’s time. Also be sure that no other software that sets the time (like ntp or timed) is running on the systems in the cell.

See the OSF DCE Administration Guide —- Core Services for more information about DCE Distributed Time Services.

At this release, intercell time synchronization is not supported.

HP DCE Installed Software

The HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7 software is divided into products and filesets. Tables 3-1 and 3-2 show the HP DCE 1.7 filesets, arranged according to product, and gives the approximate disk space requirement for each file set. Table 3-1 includes the products that are bundled with HP-UX; Table 3-2 contains the products distributed on the Applications Release media. Note that the information in Tables 3-1 and 3-2 is also available from swinstall.

Note the following:

•You must install DCE-Core on every system in your cell.

•The swcopy and swinstall tools check for adequate disk space before they install software.
