Conﬁguring HP DCE Cells

Conﬁguring Cells Using dce_conﬁg

The following procedures explain how to conﬁgure server and client

systems using the menu-driven dce_conﬁg tool. The text shows the

complete menu at its ﬁrst occurrence; thereafter it shows only the menu

name and current selection, prompts, and recommended input values (in

boldface).

As you perform each step, various status messages are displayed. This

document shows only the prompts; it may not show all status messages.

Note that this section assumes a basic familiarity with DCE terms and

concepts, as described in the manual Introduction to DCE.

The following sections include complete information on conﬁguring cells

using the dce_conﬁg script.

Starting dce_conﬁg

1. Log in as root on the system you want to conﬁgure.

2. Run dce_conﬁg.

The DCE Main Menu is displayed.

NOTE dce_conﬁg is not capable of conﬁguring (but is capable of

unconﬁguring) systems remotely. System conﬁguration must be done

locally on each client/server system. When running dce_conﬁg, you

must always log in on the system you want to conﬁgure.
