Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.7

Planning and Conﬁguring HP DCE 1.7 2-5

Migrating to HP DCE 1.7

Migration Compatibility

This section covers the compatibility of HP DCE 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.3.1, 1.4,

1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.5, and 1.6 with HP DCE Version 1.7.

• Because HP DCE 1.7, clients and servers are binary compatible with

HP DCE 1.5 and previous releases, your systems can be migrated to

HP DCE 1.7 in any order over a period of time. However, do not move

the Security Registry to “dce1.1” mode before all your security servers

have been updated to HP DCE 1.7.

• DCM (SAM DCE Conﬁguration Manager) and the dce_conﬁg utility

can be used to conﬁgure a mixed-version cell.

• Because of minor changes to the dce_conﬁg utility at HP DCE 1.4,

scripts that were written to use the HP DCE 1.2, 1.2.1, or 1.3.1

dce_conﬁg may have to be modiﬁed to work with HP DCE 1.4 and

later releases of dce_conﬁg.

NOTE DFS is not currently available on HP-UX 10.30 (DCE 1.6) or HP-UX 11.0

(DCE 1.7). If you are running DFS in your cell and plan on continuing to

run DFS, do not migrate any DFS server or client systems to HP-UX

10.30 (DCE 1.6) or HP-UX 11.0 (DCE 1.7).
