Using the DCE Conﬁguration Tool

The DCE conﬁgurator (called dce_conﬁg) is a shell script based conﬁguration tool, this

enables you to run dce_conﬁg from within the MPE/iX POSIX shell.

Check the following preliminary tasks before you enable the DCE conﬁguration main

menu:

• Ensure that the system network is running (RPC requires network sockets).

• Create an MPE/iX group named DCECONFG. At the system prompt, enter:

NEWGROUP DCECONFIG

You must be in an MPE/iX group (that is, your working directory must be an MPE/iX

group not a POSIX directory) when you start the POSIX shell that runs dce_conﬁg.

Perform the following steps to obtain the DCE Main Menu for conﬁguring cells:

1. Log on to the console as MANAGER.SYS,DCECONFG. At the system prompt, enter:

HELLO MANAGER.SYS,DCECONFG

2. Enter the POSIX shell. At the system prompt, enter:

sh.hpbin.sys -L

The shell prompt is displayed (for example, shell/iX>).

3. Ensure that /usr/bin is in your shell command search path. At the shell prompt, enter:

export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

4. Bring up the DCE conﬁguration main menu. At the shell prompt, enter:

dce_conﬁg

The DCE Main Menu as shown in Figure 3-1 is displayed on the console.

From this menu you can conﬁgure your system as a DCE server or client system.
