OSF DCE Administration Guide--Introduction

OSF DCE Administration Guide—Introduction
File Server does not support replicated filesets.
Note: System Control machines can also be used as Binary Distribution
machine.
Although you must configure at least one Fileset Location Database machine, all other
DFS server machines are optional. Note that if your are configuring a System Control
machine, you should configure it first because you are prompted to enter its name during
the Fileset Location Database machine configuration. Otherwise, you should configure
the Fileset Location Database machine first.
8.8.4.1 Prerequisites
Before you begin DFS configuration, be sure that you have:
• Made the planning decisions described in the . These decisions include the
following:
— Choosing the first DFS machine
— Determining the cache size on DFS client machines
— Defining DFS domains
— Setting up your cell’s DFS tree structure
— Determining which file system to use for root.dfs
• Created the file system for the root.dfs fileset. This file system can be either a DCE
LFS fileset or a non-LFS file system (non-LFS fileset). To use a non-LFS file
system, create the file system manually by using your operating system’s file system
commands. To use a DCE LFS fileset, create a DCE LFS aggregate with the DFS
newaggr command.
Before setting up the root.dfs fileset, refer to the .
Note: The dce_config script configures the Fileset Location Database Server
on the machine that exports root.dfs.
• On HP-UX machines, ensured that the kernel is installed on the machine being
configured. This kernel, which is available on the installation tree, is named
hpux.dfs. To install it, first rename the existing kernel(named /hpux) and then copy
hpux.dfs to the / directory, naming it hpux.
For other platforms you should run the DFS kernel that is built during the build
process. (For OSF/1 machines, the fsvmunix kernel includes support for both DFS
and DCE LFS. The dfsvmunix kernel includes support only for DFS, but requires
less disk and memory resources.)
