3.1 DCE DFS Setup Configuration Commands

This chapter describes the DFS setup configuration commands and what to do in case an error occurs during the DCE DFS configuration process.

Table 3-1 describes the DCE DFS configuration setup commands. This information is available by running /usr/sbin/dfssetup

Table 3-1: DFS Setup Configuration Commands

Command	Description
config	Displays the DFS Configuration Choice Menu.
show	Displays the current DCE DFS configuration in read-only mode. You do not need special privileges to execute this command.
stop	Terminates all active DCE DFS daemons, except for fxd and dfsd. To terminate those daemons, reboot the system.
start	Starts all DCE DFS daemons based on the current DCE DFS configuration. You must have superuser privileges to use this command.
restart	Terminates all active DCE DFS daemons (except for fxd and dfsd and restarts the daemons based on the current DCE DFS configuration. You must have superuser privileges to use this command.
clobber	Terminates all active DCE DFS daemons (except for fxd and dfsd and deletes all permanent local databases associated with DCE services on this system. You must have superuser privileges to use this command. After you execute this command, you must reconfigure the DCE DFS Services on this system because clobber returns the system to the state it was in during the installation before the initial DCE DFS configuration was performed. To restart the daemons after executing the clobber command, reboot the system, then use dfssetup config.
exit	Allows you to exit from the DCE DFS Setup Main Menu.

3.2 Recovering From Configuration Errors

If you receive an error message at any time while running the DCE DFS configuration utility, you can get more detailed information about the cause of the error by examining the /opt/dcelocal/dfssetup.log file. This log file contains a record of the operations invoked by the DCE DFS configuration utility the last time it was executed, and might help you diagnose the cause of the problem.

NOTE: Because the log file is created whenever dfssetup is invoked, Entegrity recommends that you copy the log file before running dfssetup again. That way information about any error condition will not be lost.

Sometimes the cause of an error is transitory and may not recur if you repeat the operation. Use the /usr/sbin/dfssetup restart command to retry if errors are encountered during the startup of the DFS daemons.
