/.../coolco.com/northeast/marketing, or the principal me in the child cell
/.../coolco.com/northeast/marketing/inbound?
Consequently, you must ensure that the name you select does not conflict with
any principal names on the parent cell. To test whether or not the CDS name you
select is the same as a principal name on the parent, use the dcecp principal
show command and specify the CDS name you want to use for the child cell.
If the program returns the error message
Error: Registry object not found
it means there is no principal named northeast/marketing/inbound and it is safe
to use it as a child cell name.
4. Use the dcecp cellalias create to create a cell name alias that represents the
intended new primary name for the cell. Specify the child cell’s fully qualified
name, which is of the form parent-fully-qualified-name/child-CDS-name.For
example:
/.../C=US/O=BIGCO/OU=LEGAL/contracts/fineprint
This command returns the names of any hosts in the cell that it cannot contact.
You must modify the files dcelocal/dce_cf.db and dcelocal/etc/security/pe_site
on any hosts that the command is unable to contact, before proceeding to the
next step.
5. After dcecp cellalias create has completed (and you have fixed any hosts that
the command was unable to contact), use the dcecp host stop and dcecp host
start commands to stop and restart all of the servers in the cell.
6. Use the dcecp cellalias set command to set the newly created cell name alias to
be the child cell’s primary name. This step changes the cell’s name from the
placeholder GDS or DNS name you established during initial cell configuration
to the new child cell name.
This command returns the names of any hosts in the cell that it cannot contact.
You must modify the files dcelocal/dce_cf.db and /dcelocal/etc/security/pe_site
on any hosts that the command is unable to contact before proceeding to the next
step.
7. After dcecp cellalias set has completed (and you have fixed any hosts that the
command was unable to contact), use the dcecp host stop and dcecp host start
commands to stop and restart all of the servers in the cell.
8. Establish cross-cell authentication between the child cell and its parent. To do
this, you run the dcecp registry connect command on the child cell, as described
in Chapter 33.
9. Define the new child cell in the CDS namespace of the parent. You do this by
running the dcecp cdsalias connect command in the child cell. For example:
dcecp> cdsalias connect
