6.8.8.2 MVR Configuration to Support Non-DCE Execution Mode
The Mover can be run in a non-DCE mode, in which case the part of the Mover that handles
accessing configuration metadata and servicing the Mover administrative interface (still built on
top of DCE and Encina) runs on a DCE/Encina platform (currently AIX or Solaris), while the part
of the Mover (to which the PVL and Storage Servers communicate) that manages the storage
devices and performs data transfers runs on a remote node that does not require DCE or Encina
services.Tosupportthis modeof operations,there issomeadditional configurationwhich mustbe
done on the remote (non-DCE/Encina) node.
