Conﬁguring Additional CDS Servers

Follow this procedure if you want to conﬁgure additional CDS servers:

1. From the DCE Conﬁguration Menu, choose Additional Server Conﬁguration:

DCE Configuration Menu (on

hostname

)

selection: 2

S:****** Configuring additional server.

S:****** Please wait for user authentication and authorization.

NOTE When conﬁguring a multi-system cell, dce_config checks that system times are within 120

seconds of each other.

2. The Additional Server Conﬁguration menu appears. Choose Additional CDS Server:

Additional Server Configuration Menu

selection: 1 (Additional CDS Server(s))

S:****** Configuring additional CDS server A CDS server must have already been configured.

3. dce_config prompts for the name of an existing CDS server. If the cell has more than one CDS server,

choose one:

What is the name of a CDS server in this cell (if there is more than one, enter the name of the

server to be cached if necessary)? cds_server_node

S:****** Checking for active sec_client service...

S:****** Starting cdsadv...

4. dce_config asks whether it should create a LAN proﬁle for use in dividing clients and servers into proﬁle

groups for higher performance in multi-LAN cells. If you choose to have a LAN proﬁle created,

dce_config asks for the name of the local LAN. The name you provide is arbitrary, and is used by

dce_config to store LAN proﬁle information.

Create LAN profile so clients and servers can be divided into profile groups for higher performance

in a multi-lan cell? (n) n
