Configuring HP DCE Cells

Choosing a Cell Configuration Tool

Limitations of DCM

While using DCM is completely compatible with using the dce_config script, there are a few limitations to DCM, as follows.

When DCM examines the cell, it initiates a “discovery” process to determine the status of the cell. If the cell is down, or critical DCE servers are down, the discovery process may fail and DCM will revert to the last successful configuration.

DCM does not ask if you want to create a LAN profile.

DCM does not permit you to enter the name of the clearinghouse when you create a CDS replica. It defaults to hostname.ch. It also, therefore, does not ask if more directories should be replicated.
