Configuring HP DCE Cells
Configuring Cells Using dce_config
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 1.8 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.
• CHECK_TIME: Set to y to have time checked and possibly
synchronized; n otherwise. Default is y. If dce_config is executed
with a here-document, CHECK_TIME should be set to n since time
checking uses a telnet command that causes input from the
here-document to be lost.
• CONFIG_PROTSEQ: Communication protocol used for some
dce_config operations.This variable is set to ncadg_ip_udp by
default for use of the UDP protocol, which works in almost all cases.
Change to ncacn_ip_tcp only if TCP protocol routing is available.
• DISPLAY_THRESHOLD: Minimum priority log messages from
dce_config that are written to stdout. Default is SUMMARY.
ERROR and WARNING messages are always displayed. Possible
