DESCRIPTION
The dce_config shell command invokes a menu-driven interface that installs,
configures, and starts up DCE. The dce_config command displays a hierarchy
of menus and invokes individual installation and configuration routines,
according to users’ menu selections.
Installation routines store the binary files required for the selected server
installation into /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin. Binary files required for a client
installation are stored on every machine. The configuration menus consist of
initial cell configuration, additional server configuration, and DCE client
configuration. The security server and the first CDS server constitute initial cell
configuration.
If you specify an environment file with the -e flag and a command file with the -c
flag, you can completely automate dce_config processing.
The Command File
The command file consists of install and config command lines that specify the
component to install.
A sample command file, config.cmd, is provided by HP with the DCE
distribution. You can copy the file and use it as supplied, or you can use it as a
guide to create your own environment file. The sample file is copied to
/opt/dcelocal.hostname/usr/examples/dce_config during DCE installation.
The install command lines are in the form:
install component
Where
component Is one of the following:
-h hostname Specifies the name of the virtual host to be
configured.
The specified name must be the value of the
hostname attribute for the TCP/IP stack used by
the virtual host.
If you omit the -h flag, dce_config uses the
environment variables DCEVH or
TCPIP_PROCESS_NAME, as appropriate. Refer
to the table under The DCE Environment
Variables in DESCRIPTION for more information
on the use of these variables.
