DCE for the HP 3000

Using the DCE Configuration Tool 

The DCE configurator (called dce_config) is a shell script based
configuration tool, this enables you to run dce_config from within the
MPE/iX POSIX shell.

Check the following preliminary tasks before you enable the DCE
configuration main menu:

   *   Ensure that the system network is running (RPC requires network
       sockets).

   *   Create an MPE/iX group named DCECONFG. At the system prompt,
       enter:

            NEWGROUP DCECONFIG

       You must be in an MPE/iX group (that is, your working directory
       must be an MPE/iX group not a POSIX directory) when you start the
       POSIX shell that runs dce_config.

Perform the following steps to obtain the DCE Main Menu for configuring
cells:

   1.  Log on to the console as MANAGER.SYS,DCECONFG. At the system
       prompt, enter:

            HELLO MANAGER.SYS,DCECONFG

   2.  Enter the POSIX shell.  At the system prompt, enter:

            sh.hpbin.sys -L

       The shell prompt is displayed (for example, shell/iX>).

   3.  Ensure that /usr/bin is in your shell command search path.  At the
       shell prompt, enter:

            export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

   4.  Bring up the DCE configuration main menu.  At the shell prompt,
       enter:

            dce_config

       The DCE Main Menu is displayed on the console:
