Exporting Aggregates and Partitions at System Startup

To export DCE LFS or non-LFS aggregates at system startup, use a text editor to edit the appropriate initialization file for the File Server machine to include the following DFS commands:

· The dfsbind command.

· The dfsexport command with the -all option to export all partitions and aggregates with entries in the dfstab file.

· The bosserver command to start the BOS Server. If the dcelocal/var/dfs/BosConfig file includes the recommended entries, this also starts the Fileset Server and the Replication Server on the machine.

· The fxd command to start the File Exporter.

These commands may be included in the file rc.dfs (or its equivalent), which is installed with DFS on the local machine. The file may be automatically modified to start the appropriate processes as you alter your DFS configuration. (See your vendor's DCE installation and configuration documentation for more information about installing and configuring DFS.)
