OSF DCE Administration Guide--Introduction

Installing DCE

File Server Machine.

After you select a server installation from the DFS Server Installation menu, the

dce_conﬁg script proceeds to install the server. Then, dce_conﬁg prompts for

whether to install the optional DFS servers:

Optional DFS servers are:

cm fms udebug

scout upclient upserver

Would you like to install the optional DFS servers? (y):

3. Type y to install the optional servers or n to not install them and press

<RETURN>.

Note that when you install a DFS server, dce_conﬁg automatically installs the

DCE client binaries.

The dce_conﬁg script then prompts for whether to install additional optional

command client binaries on the machine. Generally it is useful to install these

administrative commands, particularly the cm command that is used to manage

the client cache manager.

Would you like to install: cm bos fts bak,

(all are optional) on this machine (y)?

4. Type y to install the optional binaries or n to not install them and press

<RETURN>.

When dce_conﬁg completes the DFS installation, it returns the DCE Installation

Menu.

7.2.8 Installing a DCE Client

Since all machines that will engage in network communications must be DCE clients,

you should install the DCE client binaries on every machine in the cell. Note that the

DCE client binaries are automatically installed on every machine on which you have

installed a DCE server during the installation. Therefore, you must install the client

binaries only on those machines on which you have not installed a server.

To install the client binaries, type 6 at the DCE Installation Menu and press

<RETURN>.

The dce_conﬁg script completes the DCE client installation and returns the DCE

Installation Menu.
