OSF DCE Administration Guide—Introduction
a. Type y to replicate other directories on the machine and press <RETURN>.
The dce_config script prompts for a list of the directories to replicated:
Enter a list of directories to be replicated, separated
by spaces, and terminated by <RETURN>:
Type in the list of directories separated by spaces. Press <RETURN> when
the list is complete.
The dce_config script automatically replicates the root directory. To have
dce_config replicate other directories, you must specify the full pathname
(including the /.:/) of each additional directory you want to replicate.
Specifying the root directory of a tree structure does not cause the entire
tree structure to be replicated. (Note that once the configuration is complete,
you can use the CDS control program (cdscp) to replicate directories at any
time.)
b. Type n to not replicate directories and press <RETURN>.
The dce_config script completes the configuration and returns the Additional
Server Configuration menu.
4. When the additional server configuration is complete, exit dce_config and log in
as the initial privileged user (created during the configuration of the master
Security server), and skulk the root directory using the following command:
set directory /.: to skulk
This action propagates a copy of the changed root directory information to all the
CDS servers. Note that use of several CDS servers may expand the time required
to complete the propagation.
8.8.2.1 Possible Configuration Errors
An additional CDS server configuration may fail if the cdsd has been successfully
launched, but its clearinghouse has not been properly created. Such an event may
produce error messages like the following:
ERROR: Error during creation of clearinghouse /.:/nodename_ch.
Message from cdscp:
Failure in routine: cp_create_clh; code = 282109010
Requested operation would result in lost connectivity to
root directory (dce / cds)
ERROR: Error during creation of clearinghouse /.:/nodename_ch.
Message from cdscp:
Failure in routine: cp_create_clh; code = 282108908
Unable to communicate with any CDS server (dce / cds)
