DCE for the HP e3000 (B3821-90002)

Configuring DCE Cells
Using the DCE Configuration Options

Security configuration takes approximately five to tenminutes. When complete, three
DCE daemon jobs (rpcd, secd and secclntd) are running.
After the Security server has completed configuration, dce_config returns to the
DCE Configuration menu.
5. From the DCE Configuration Menu, select “1. Initial Cell Configuration”. Then select “2.
Initial CDS Server” to configure the CDS server.
This machine creates a cell directory, the namespace is initialized, and ACLs are set
for all new namespace entries.
6. Respond to the “..multiple LANs..” question in Figure 3-6:
• If the DCE cell machines will be on different LANs, respond Y (yes).
• If the DCE cell machines will be on the same LANs, respond N (no).
Figure 3-6 Multiple LANs
NOTE Failure to answer the “..multiple LANs..” question correctly results in an incorrect network
profile and a non functional DCE cell. A “Y” answer is the safest if you are unsure.
If your cell does span multiple LAN’s, dce_config asks for the name of the LAN as
shown in Figure 3-7, where the machine being configured resides. The name you provide
is arbitrary, and is used by dce_config to store cell profile information.

CDS configuration takes longer than Security configuration (approximately one hour on
small systems). When complete, another two DCE daemon jobs (cdsadv, cdsd) are up
and running.
Configuring a DTS Server
DTS servers may be configured on any system in the cell. A minimum of three Time
servers is recommended for any cell with three or more member systems. Refer to the
OSF DCE Administration Guide — Core Components (B3190-90034) for a discussion of
the optimum placement of servers in a cell with gateway or WAN links.
If you do not want to configure DTS or if you do not have three systems in a cell, you can
skip this section.
NOTE Before configuring a DTS server, you must complete the “Initial Cell Configuration” on that
system. It is recommended that the system that you plan to add a DTS server to is
configured as a DCE client before starting the DTS server configuration.
... Are you using multiple LAN's within this cell? N
... What is the name of the LAN? lan_50
