Using the DCE Conﬁguration Options

The DCE conﬁgure options allow you to perform multiple tasks on a given DCE cell. This

subsection includes the required steps (in order):

1. Conﬁguring an Initial Cell

2. Conﬁguring a DTS Server

3. Conﬁguring a DCE Client (Client-Only System)

4. Removing or Reconﬁguring a Client

5. Removing or Reconﬁguring a Server

For more information about your conﬁguration options (why and/or when to use them),

refer to the OSF DCE Administration Guide — Core Components (B3190-90034)

document.

Conﬁguring an Initial Cell

When creating a DCE cell, servers must be conﬁgured before clients. Conﬁguration must

be performed in the following order:

1. Security server

2. CDS server

3. Time server(s)

4. Time provider

When these server systems have been conﬁgured, the client systems can be conﬁgured.

To conﬁgure an MPE/iX system as the primary server for the core DCE services, perform

the following steps:

1. Select “1. CONFIGURE” from the DCE Main Menu, the DCE Conﬁguration Menu as

shown in Figure 3-2 is displayed:
