About HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS
HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS Version 3.0 is a distributed file system
functionally equivalent to Version 1.2.2 of The Open Group (formerly Open
Software Foundation) DCE Distributed File Service (DFS). Enhanced DFS
is one component of the HP Enterprise File System product family.
12
About HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS
Overview of HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS Version 3.0
Overview of HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS Version 3.0
HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS 3.0 is a distributed client/server application
that presents DCE with a global view of a set of files and directories,
independent of machine boundaries. This global view is called the Enhanced
DFS filespace. Within this filespace, users can share files stored on any of
the computers that are part of this global view.
Enhanced DFS requires the HP-UX 11.0 operating system and the
HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7 product. Enhanced DFS supports all
HP DCE/9000 DFS 1.7 functionality and protocols, and interoperates fully
with other DFS servers.
The client and server components of Enhanced DFS 3.0 are available as
separately orderable components.
NOTE: For this version of Enhanced DFS 3.0, only the client is available.

About HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS
Benefits
Benefits
Enhanced DFS 3.0 provides a number of benefits, including the following:
Allows faster restarts after abnormal system shutdowns using the DCE LFS log-
based file system
Uses tokens to ensure that users are working with the most-recent copy of a file
and to track who is working on the file
Allows administrators to replicate commonly used DCE LFS filesets on multiple
File Server machines
Allows easier recovery from severe system failures
Provides increased availability of files through replication and caching
Improves load balancing of data
Tracks the location of every fileset
Extends the UNIX permissions to provide more precise definitions of access
permissions for directories and files using ACLs
Allows the use of data from non-LFS file systems
Allows the addition of server and client machines to an
HP DCE/9000 DFS
configuration with little impact on other servers or clients and with few additional
administrative responsibilities
Supports enhanced administration and security
Stores central copies of system configuration and binary files on designated
machines and distributes these files to other server machines in the network
Backs up and restores system and user data as needed
Enhanced DFS 3.0 operates on top of and interacts with the following HP
DCE 1.7 components:
DCE Security Service
DCE Directory Service
DCE Distributed Time Service
DCE Remote Procedure Call facility

About HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS
Features
Features
Enhanced DFS 3.0 offers complete HP DCE/9000 1.7 DFS server
functionality for distributed computing environments, which can include:
Server machines
Client machines
Data access management
Administrative domains
Administrative lists and groups
Local file system
Database distribution
The scout program
Authenticated access from NFS via the gateway
In addition, Enhanced DFS 3.0 includes all extended DFS features.
Restriction of RPC Addresses
Enhanced DFS 3.0 includes restricting RPC addresses with the use of the
environment variable, RPC_SUPPORTED_NETADDRS. See the HP
DCE 1.7 planning and configuration guide for a description of this
environment variable.
The runtime looks for a RPC_SUPPORTED_NETADDRS environment
variable, which allows a user or administrator to restrict the network
addresses that a DFS host advertises in the name-space or endpoint-map.
If you set this environment variable, only addresses in the list will be
advertised in the namespace or endpoint map. Addresses not found on the
list are excluded from the servers list of available addresses.
For information on using this feature, see Restricting RPC Addresses in
Chapter 2.

Administration Tools for Enhanced DFS 3.0
Administration Tools for Enhanced DFS 3.0
Enhanced DFS 3.0 provides several tools, in addition to the standard tools
and commands provided with OSF DFS 1.2.2, to help you monitor and
administer your DFS 3.0 file servers. These tools are provided in the
EFS-ResourceKit installation product.
Sentinel a graphical file server monitoring tool that displays free disk space on
DFS file servers and a summary of DFS files server statistics. It also detects
server problems (when a free space threshold is exceeded or when a server cannot
be reached). It is provided in the EFS-CNTRB-SNTL fileset and installed as
/opt/dce/bin/sentinel. Sentinel requires X-Windows display capability. Sentinel
has online help accessible from its graphical interface.
EfsStatus a dcecp script that displays status information about the DCE and
DFS servers in your cell. It is provided in the EFS-CNTRB-SNTL fileset and
installed as /opt/dce/efsadmin/bin/efsstatus.dcp.
Tkm_adjust a utility that allows you to examine and modify various token
manager parameters. Use this command with extreme caution, as it is capable of
corrupting the state of the Enhanced DFS client. Tkm_adjust does not have an
associated man page. It is provided in the EFS-CNTRB-TKMAJ fileset and
installed as /opt/dce/bin/tkm_adjust.
You can run Sentinel and EfsStatus from the Enterprise File System (EFS)
Admin web. The EFS Admin web is a group of HTML files and CGI scripts
shipped with the Enhanced DFS product (see "HP Enterprise File System
Admin web" in this chapter). You can run the EfsStatus tool directly from a
command line by entering /opt/dce/efsadmin/bin/efsstatus.dcp.
NOTE: You can either run the efsstatus.dcp or sentinel command from the directory
where that tool is installed, or explicitly specify the full pathname to where that tool
is installed.

About HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS
HP Enterprise File System Admin Web
HP Enterprise File System Admin Web
The Enterprise File System (EFS) Admin web is a group of HTML files and
CGI scripts shipped with the Enhanced DFS product. You can use these files
to create your own EFS web server site, or integrate them into an existing
web server. The files are contained in the installation fileset EFS-WEB and
get installed in the directory /opt/dce/usr/contrib/efsadmin.
Once you have the EFS Admin web up, it allows you to:
run Sentinel, a graphical file server monitoring tool
run EfsStatus, a dcecp script that prints status information about DCE and
Enhanced DFS servers in your cell
view DCE and Enhanced DFS log information for a specified node
access the HP Corporate and HP EFS home pages
view Information on product updates and new additions to the Resource Kit via
the HP EFS home page
send mail about Enhanced DFS to HP
Note that you can access a copy of the HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS
Version 3.0 Release Note (in HTML format) from the
HP EFS home page.
The HTML Release Note is the same as the printed Release Note, except it
may contain post-product-release updates to the printed version. See the
What Manuals are Available for This Version section in this manual for
complete information about the documentation provided with HP DCE/9000
Enhanced DFS 3.0.

Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements
Compatibility Information and Installation
Requirements
This chapter describes the hardware, software, operating system, memory,
and swap space requirements for HP DCE/9000 Enhanced DFS Version 3.0
on HP-UX 11.0.
Enhanced DFS 3.0 Interoperability
Enhanced DFS 3.0 clients and servers are completely interoperable with HP
DCE/9000 Version 1.4x, 1.5.x, EFS 1.0, DFS 2.0, and 1.7 DFS clients and
servers. Enhanced DFS 3.0 servers can "serve" HP DCE/9000 Version 1.4x
and 1.7 DFS clients; conversely, HP DCE/9000 Version 1.4x and 1.7 DFS
servers can serve Enhanced DFS 3.0 clients.
NIS and Integrated Login Interoperability
NIS, Integrated Login, and DCE/DFS should interoperate without any
problems because they do not have any knowledge of one another.
Both Integrated Login and NIS attempt to solve the problem of creating a
common /etc/passwd and /etc/group file on multiple nodes. Integrated
Login does this by using /opt/dce/bin/passwd_export to pull the contents of
the DCE registry (basically the global /etc/passwd and /etc/group files)
onto each node. NIS, on the other hand, gets the global /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files through a hook in the getpwent() system call. DCE/DFS
uses this functionality primarily to print a username and group when you
perform an ls -l within DFS.
The second function of Integrated Login, which NIS does not provide, is to
obtain a users DCE credentials when a user performs a standard UNIX login
through telnet, ftp, CDE, and so on. If Integrated Login obtains the
credentials successfully, the user accesses DFS in an authenticated manner,
and without having to perform a dce_login. When DCE is not available,
Integrated Login falls back to using the /etc/passwd file; upon successful
login, the user does not have DCE credentials, gains unauthenticated access
to DFS, and thus can only access entries with an any_other ACL entry.
