| Configuring HP DCE Cells |
|
| Configuring Cells with DCM |
| By using the List menu, you can switch to a template mode that allows | |
| you to create prototype DCE cell configurations that can (and must) be | |
| tested for validity before actually being created. | |
| Important Security Warning | |
| DCM uses standard UNIX remote login utilities to perform remote | |
CAUTION | ||
| administration. This causes the cell administrator’s password to be sent | |
| over the network whenever you perform a task on a remote system. If | |
| someone is very closely monitoring the network traffic, they could obtain | |
| the password and the security of the cell’s DCE services will be | |
| compromised. Note, however, that using DCM is no more or less secure | |
| than using standard UNIX remote login utilities directly. (Secure | |
| Internet Services (SIS) do not provide better security for the purpose of | |
| remote DCE cell administration.) | |
| Requirements for Running DCM | |
| ||
| If you choose to configure your cell with DCM, you should verify that the | |
| systems in your cell meet the following requirements: | |
| • | All systems from which you want to perform cell configuration tasks |
|
| must have SAM installed. |
| • | All systems must have the host name of each node (the |
|
| administrative node and cell members) in their .rhosts and |
|
| /etc/hosts.equiv files. The .rhosts file must be located in the root |
|
| user’s home directory, usually the / directory. For more information |
|
| about .rhosts files, see Using ARPA Services |
|
| remsh (1) and hosts.equiv (4) man pages. |
| • | All systems that you want to administer via DCM must be running |
|
| HP DCE/9000 Version 1.2 , 1.2.1, 1.3.1, 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.5, 1.6, or |
|
| 1.7. DCM does not configure and may not “discover” all aspects of |
|
| other vendors’ system configuration. |
| Running DCM | |
| To run DCM: | |
| 1. | Log in as root. |
| 2. | Execute sam from a shell prompt. |
