Planning and Configuring HP-UX DCE 1.9

Configuring HP-UX DCE Cells
Configuring Cells Using dce_config
60
To remove a configured system (except a Master Security Server or Initial CDS Server system) from a cell,
use the -UNCONFIGURE option on the DCE Main Menu. The UNCONFIGURE operation can be executed on
any system in the cell. A prompt will ask for the name of the system to be unconfigured. The
UNCONFIGURE option removes the target machine from the cell Security database and the CDS name
space. After you have unconfigured the system, run dce_config on the system and use the REMOVE option
from the DCE Main Menu.
DCE daemons must be running on the system executing the UNCONFIGURE option. If daemons have been
stopped, use the START option on the DCE Main Menu to restart them before using UNCONFIGURE.
A successfully configured client system can be unconfigured locally. If there were any errors in configuring the
client system as a security or directory service client, then the client must be unconfigured from some other
system in the cell.
1. Start dce_config on the client system.
2. Select UNCONFIGURE from the DCE Main Menu:
DCE Main Menu (on hostname)
selection: 4 (UNCONFIGURE)
S:****** Attempting to unconfigure a node from the cell name space...
3. Enter the host name of the client:
Enter hostname of node to be unconfigured: hostname
4. The system explains that unconfiguring a node will remove the node's ability to operate in a cell, and asks
if you want to continue:
Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y
5. Enter the principal name and password of the Cell Administrator for your cell:
Enter Cell Administrator's principal name:(cell_admin)
Enter password:
dce_config deletes the registry entries and CDS entries for the client, then displays the DCE Main
Menu.
6. You must now perform the REMOVE option on the client system. If you ran the UNCONFIGURE
operation on a system other than the client, start dce_config on the client system. On the client system,
select REMOVE from the DCE Main Menu:
selection: 5 (REMOVE)
7. The system explains that removing a node destroys the node's ability to operate in a cell, and asks if you
want to continue:
Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y
The REMOVE option stops all running DCE daemons and removes all previous configuration files on the
local machine.
8. If you want to restart the client, follow the instructions in “Configuring Client Systems: Security, CDS,
and DTS” on page 57".
Removing and Reconfiguring the DCE Daemons
This section describes how to remove and reconfigure the DCE daemons. You will need to perform this
procedure, for example, if you want to stop a cell, if a configuration does not succeed, or if a server system
crashes.
