Adding a DTS Global Server

If you want to add a DTS Global Server to your system, choose option 4 (Add DTS Global Server) from the Modify Configuration Menu.

The configuration prompts you with the following messages:

At each prompt, enter <RETURN> to take the default displayed in [braces] or enter '?' for help.

Press <RETURN> to continue:

Shutting down DCE services

DCE services stopped

Gathering list of currently accessible cells

Please enter your DCE hostname [dcehost]:

After you enter your DCE hostname, the procedure displays an alphabetical list of cells it has found within broadcast range of your system. In many environments, the list consists of only one name. Choose the name of the DCE cell that you want to join. If you do not know the name of the cell, consult your network administrator. Do not add the /.../ prefix to the cell name; the procedure automatically adds it.

Please enter the name of your DCE cell (or '?' for help) []:

If you enter a cell name that is not on the list of cell names, the procedure assumes you are performing a WAN configuration, and asks you to enter the hostname of the master CDS server for your cell.

After you enter your cell name, the procedure continues, displaying information similar to the following, but dependent upon your configuration:

Starting CDS advertiser daemon (cdsadv)...

Testing access to CDS server (please wait)....

The local system time is: Thu Jul 13 10:36:36 1998

Is this time correct? (y/n):

Make sure you check that the correct time is displayed before you continue with the configuration. If the time is incorrect, specify n, and the procedure exits to the operating system to allow you to reset the system time. After you correct or verify the time, specify y, and the procedure continues with the following message (if you have DECnet/OSI installed and configured):

You seem to have DECnet/OSI installed on this system. DECnet/OSI includes a distributed time synchronization service (DECdts), which does not currently support the DCE Distributed Time Service (DCE DTS) functionality. The DCE DTS in this release provides full DECdts functionality. This installation will stop DECdts and use DCE DTS instead. For further clarification, please consult the DCE for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Product Guide.

Even though DCE DTS will be used, it is possible to accept time from DECdts servers.

Should this node accept time from DECdts servers? (y/n) [n]:

Specify y to accept time from any DECnet/OSI DECdts server; however, time from this source is unauthenticated. If you specify n, this system accepts time only from DCE time servers.

Do you want to enable DCE SIA? (y/n) [n] :

After you respond to the prompt, the procedure stops the CDS advertiser and asks you to perform a dce_login operation, as follows:

This operation requires that you be authenticated as a member

of the sec-admin group. Please login.

Enter Principal Name: cell_admin

Password:

Obtain the password from your cell administrator.

After you perform the dce_login operation, the procedure continues with the following messages:

Do you want to run the DCE Configuration Verification Program? (y/n/?) [y]:

The DCE Configuration Verification Program (CVP) exercises the components of DCE that are running in this cell. It requires approximately 1 to 2 minutes to run.

If you type y to run the CVP at this time, you see the following display:

Modifying system startup procedure...

The DCE components that you have configured are added to your system startup procedure so the daemons restart automatically whenever the system is rebooted. When the procedure is completed, the DCE Setup Main Menu is redisplayed.

If your system is configured as a DTS Global Server, option 4 shows "Change from DTS Global Server to DTS clerk".
