Chapter 3. Client and Server Considerations
This chapter describes configurations for DCE client machines, the different types of
DCE server machines, DCE remote administration machines, and DCE Application
Development Environment machines. A DCE client machine can run client code of
every DCE service. DCE server machines are configured to run a certain set of the DCE
software. A DCE server software package is made up of at least one daemon and, in
some cases, one or more additional programs that comprise the server side of the DCE
component. DCE server machines also run the DCE client software. DCE remote
administration machines, which are client machines specially configured for remote
server adminsistration, contain certain administration programs in addition to the DCE
client software. The DCE Application Development Environment configuration contains
files (such as header files) needed by DCE application programmers, in addition to the
DCE client software. For a list of all the files provided for a DCE component, see the
OSF DCE Porting and Testing Guide.
When planning the configuration of your DCE clients and servers, remember space
needs. A machine that has a particular configuration of the DCE software will need
enough space for both the DCE software and the operating system software. See the
Ρe for detailed information on space requirements for the various DCE machine
configurations.
The sections of this chapter are presented in the order in which you need to
approach configuring DCE machines.
3.1 Requirements for DCE Client Machines
The following subsections describe the requirements for setting up DCE client machines.
They also discuss some considerations for configuring DCE clients. Remember that all
DCE machines, including DCE server machines, are DCE clients. Therefore, be sure to
add the appropriate server space requirements to the DCE client space requirements to
reach an approximate total space requirement for the client machine.
