Configuring HP DCE Cells

Configuring Cells Using dce_config

This routine starts up cdsadv and cdsd, initializes the name space, and sets ACLs for all new name space entries.

10.dce_config asks whether it should create a LAN profile for use in dividing clients and servers into profile groups for higher performance in multi-LAN cells. If you choose to have a LAN profile created, dce_config asks for the name of the local LAN. The name you provide is arbitrary, and is used by dce_config to store LAN profile information.

Create LAN profile so clients and servers can be divided into profile groups for higher performance in a multi-lan cell? (n) y

What is the name of the LAN? lan_250

This system is now configured as a CDS server. You must now create a DTS server, either on this system or on another system.

Time servers should be configured in any cell of more than one system. A minimum of three Time servers is recommended for any cell with three or more member systems. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide — Core Services for a discussion of the optimum placement of servers in a cell with gateway or WAN links. DTS servers may be configured on any system in the cell.

When dce_config is first run on a system, the HP-UX environment variable TZ is read to determine the HP-UX local time zone. dce_config then automatically selects a matching DCE local time zone and creates the link for / etc/opt/dce/zoneinfo/localtime. A different time zone can be chosen: see the localtime (5) man page for details.

To configure a DTS server on this system, or on another system:

•If the DTS server for this cell will be on another system, repeat steps 1 and 2 on that system, and continue with step 11 below.

•If the DTS server will be on this system, continue with step 11 below.
