Installation Notes

Once you have loaded HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7 software into a network distribution area, use the swinstall tool to install appropriate filesets on individual systems.

HP DCE 1.7 on HP-UX 11.0 does not support DFS. Do not install HP DCE 1.7 on any machine requiring a DFS server or client. If you plan to install HP DCE 1.7 over DFS, the installation of HP DCE 1.7 will remove DFS from your system and allow the installation to complete without error.

The installation procedure invokes swinstall on each target system in a cell. When installation is complete, you can begin cell configuration, which is described in Chapter 5, “Configuring DCE Cells”.

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following information.

•You must know the root password for each system in your cell.

•If the system is a functioning DCE server or client, stop the DCE software.

•Know the name of your network source system, as well as the source depot path name.

•You must install HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7 on a long-name file system. If you have a short-name file system, use the convertfs(1m) utility to convert it to long names.

•If you plan to do remote installation, you must be able to log in to the remote system using a utility like telnet, rlogin, or remsh. You cannot do a “push” installation to a remote system over a network file system such as NFS or AFS.
