Removing or Reconfiguring a Server
The procedure described below is used for:
• removing a DCE server
• reconfiguring a DCE server
• changing the name of a cell
• changing or modifying a configuration
• restoring a server after a system crash
NOTE If you want to unconfigure the server, do not perform an “UNCONFIGURE”, instead
perform a “REMOVE” option.
Removing a Security or CDS server requires that you reconfigure the entire cell.
If you are removing both the clients and servers, all client systems must be unconfigured
and removed before the server systems are removed. If you want to remove and
reconfigure a client, you can do so without reconfiguring the other members of a cell.
To remove or reconfigure a server, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure you are not DCE logged in as a DCE cell principal.
2. Bring up the DCE Main Menu (as described in “Using the DCE Configuration Tool”
earlier in this section).
3. Select “5. REMOVE” from the DCE Main Menu. The dce_config tool displays the
following message as shown in Figure 3-19:
Figure 3-19 Remove Message
A “Yes” response stops all running DCE daemons in that system and removes all files
created during the initial cell configuration.
REMOVE will remove the nodes’s ability to operate in the cell.
A reconfiguration of the node will be required. if this is not
a server node, then this node should be unconfigured before a
REMOVE is done. Do you wish to continue (y/n)?
