Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.7 5-25
Configuring HP DCE Cells
Configuring Cells Using dce_config
• dce_config_env: Sets common environment variables used by
dce_config.
• dce_config_utils: Common internal routines used by dce_config.
• /sbin/init.d/dce[start | stop]: Starts or stops HP DCE daemons.
Cannot be run remotely; must be run on DCE client or server node.
• /etc/rc.config.d/dce: Read by /sbin/init.d/dce to determine which
daemons to start.
dce_config Environment Variables
dce_config recognizes the following environment variables. If these
environment variables are set and exported before dce_config is run in
interactive mode, possible corresponding prompts for information will be
skipped.
• REMOTE_ADMIN: If you set the variable REMOTE_ADMIN to y
(using a command such as “export REMOTE_ADMIN=y”) before you
run dce_config or dcm on an HP DCE 1.7 system, then dced is
started with the command dced -b -r and /etc/rc.config.d/dce is
updated to include DCED_SWITCHES= -r. You can also set
REMOTE_ADMIN in the config.env file if you run dce_config non-
interactively.
• CACHE_CDS_SERVER: Name of a CDS server in cell to cache. Need
not be the initial CDS Server.
• CACHE_CDS_SERVER_IP: IP address of $CACHE_CDS_SERVER.
• CELL_ADMIN: Principal name of the Cell Administrator; either for
an existing cell or for a to-be-configured cell.
• CELL_ADMIN_PW: Password for the Cell Administrator, either for
an existing cell or for a to-be-configured cell.
• CELL_NAME: Name of your cell (without /…/).
• CHANGE_PW: This internal variable tracks whether dce_config
receives the warning “Password must be changed” to indicate the cell
administrator password is the same as the default password. Initial
value is n; do not alter this initial value.
