Planning and Configuring HP DCE 1.8

62 Chapter3
Before Installing HP DCE/9000 Version 1.8
Prerequisites
• maxfiles must be increased to a minimum of 256 for all systems.
However, it is recommended that maxfiles be increased to a
minimum of 1024 for all systems.
• The default value for maxdsize is sufficient except in cases where
you have many tens of thousands of users. At this point you should
monitor the process size of your secd and cdsd. If the process size
approaches the maxdsize value, maxdsize should be increased.
Kernel parameter tuning is highly application dependent. It is expected
that you might need to modify your kernel parameters based upon your
specific applications needs.
Distribution Media
The HP DCE/9000 Version 1.8 Server and Tools software is shipped on
CD-ROM only.
The HP DCE/9000 Version 1.8 Client software is shipped bundled with
HP-UX 11i.
The HP DCE/9000 Version 1.8 Server software is available on the HP-UX

Network Distribution Area
The first part of the installation procedure involves loading software
from distribution media to a network distribution area or depot. The
drive where the distribution media is loaded must be connected to a
system that has sufficient disk space available. To calculate the disk
space required, refer to Tables 3-1 and 3-2 at the end of this chapter.
