Installation Notes
Once you have loaded HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7 software into a network
distribution area, use the swinstall tool to install appropriate filesets on
individual systems.
CAUTION HP DCE 1.7 on HP-UX 11.0 does not support DFS. Do not install HP
DCE 1.7 on any machine requiring a DFS server or client. If you plan to
install HP DCE 1.7 over DFS, the installation of HP DCE 1.7 will remove
DFS from your system and allow the installation to complete without
error.
The installation procedure invokes swinstall on each target system in a
cell. When installation is complete, you can begin cell configuration,
which is described in Chapter 5, “Configuring DCE Cells”.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following information.
• You must know the root password for each system in your cell.
• If the system is a functioning DCE server or client, stop the DCE
software.
• Know the name of your network source system, as well as the source
depot path name.
• You must install HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7 on a long-name file
system. If you have a short-name file system, use the convertfs(1m)
utility to convert it to long names.
• If you plan to do remote installation, you must be able to log in to the
remote system using a utility like telnet, rlogin, or remsh. You
cannot do a “push” installation to a remote system over a network file
system such as NFS or AFS.
