Conﬁguring HP DCE Cells

Conﬁguring Cells Using dce_conﬁg

Removing Systems from the Cell

NOTE You cannot use the dce_conﬁg UNCONFIGURE option to remove a

Master Security Server or Initial CDS Server system from a cell. You

must either use the DCM to do this, or reconﬁgure the entire cell. You

can use the dce_conﬁg UNCONFIGURE option to remove Additional

CDS Server or Replica Security Server systems from a cell.

To remove a conﬁgured system (except a Master Security Server or

Initial CDS Server system) from a cell, use the -UNCONFIGURE option

on the DCE Main Menu. The UNCONFIGURE operation can be

executed on any system in the cell. A prompt will ask for the name of the

system to be unconﬁgured. The UNCONFIGURE option removes the

target machine from the cell Security database and the CDS name space.

After you have unconﬁgured the system, run dce_conﬁg on the system

and use the REMOVE option from the DCE Main Menu.

DCE daemons must be running on the system executing the

UNCONFIGURE option. If daemons have been stopped, use the START

option on the DCE Main Menu to restart them before using

UNCONFIGURE.

A successfully conﬁgured client system can be unconﬁgured locally. If

there were any errors in conﬁguring the client system as a security or

directory service client, then the client must be unconﬁgured from some

other system in the cell.

1. Start dce_conﬁg on the client system.

2. Select UNCONFIGURE from the DCE Main Menu:

DCE Main Menu (on hostname)

selection: 4 (UNCONFIGURE)

S:****** Attempting to unconfigure a node from the

cell name space…

3. Enter the host name of the client:

Enter hostname of node to be unconfigured: hostname

4. The system explains that unconﬁguring a node will remove the node’s

ability to operate in a cell, and asks if you want to continue:

Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y
