Several prerequisites must be met before you can export either a DCE LFS aggregate or a non-LFS partition from a File Server machine. The following server processes must be running before any of the other steps described in this or the following topics are attempted:
· A CDS server process (cdsd) must be running in the cell, and a CDS advertiser process (cdsadv) and a CDS clerk process (cdsclerk) must be running on the machine; use the appropriate CDS command to verify that the CDS processes are running. Note that the CDS advertiser on a machine automatically spawns a new CDS clerk for each user on the machine.
· A Security Server process (secd) must be running in the cell, and a security client process (sec_clientd) must be running on the machine; use the appropriate Security Service command to verify that the processes are running.
· The dced process must be running on the machine; use the appropriate dcecp command to verify that the process is running.
· An FL Server process must be running in the cell. You can use the bos status command to verify that the flserver process is running, or you can use the fts lsfldb command to list information about the root.dfs fileset, which must exist, thus verifying that the flserver is actually functioning.
In addition, an RPC binding must exist for the DCE path name of the File Server machine in CDS, a corresponding DFS server principal must exist for the machine in the Registry Database, and a server entry must exist for the machine in the FLDB. The following topics describe these topics and additional preparation that must be completed if the machine is to export aggregates or partitions.
