Known Problems and Workarounds
GDS Required for X.500 Cell Name
If a cell is configured with an X.500 style cell name (e.g., c=us/o=hp/
ou=cssl) Enhanced DFS will work only if GDS is also configured in the cell
and all GDS (and DCE) daemons are running.
UDP/IP Required
Enhanced DFS 3.0 requires the User Datagram Protocol of the Internet
Protocol suite (UDP/IP). Enhanced DFS will not function across an IP router
which filters out UDP traffic. Nearly all IP routers are configured to permit
UDP traffic, so this restriction will not pose a problem for most sites.
Using the HP-UX mkdir -p Command
Care must be taken when choosing pathname arguments to the HP-UX
mkdir -p command, which tries to create each directory in the path you
specify. Thus:
mkdir -p /.../xyz.abc.com/fs/users/kk/dir
fails because nothing can be created in the CDS part of the name space
( /... and /.../xyz.abc.com). In most installations, however, /: is a link to
/.../ xyz.abc.com/fs; the command:
mkdir -p /:/users/kk/dir
works (assuming the correct UNIX permissions) because the first directory
mkdir -p tries to create is users.
Visibility of Global Cell Name Space
The Enhanced DFS name space is visible to HP-UX file system commands
such as cd and ls. However, the global cell name space only becomes visible
as names are used on the system. For example,
$ls/...
does not show any subdirectories the first time it is used. However,
$ ls /.../mycell
(where mycellis a cell name) followed by,
$ls/...
