Release 4.5, Revision 2
6.8.8.2 MVR Configuration to Support Non-DCE Execution Mode
The Mover can be run in a non-DCE mode, in which case the part of the Mover that handles
accessing configuration metadata and servicing the Mover administrative interface (still built on
top of DCE and Encina) runs on a DCE/Encina platform (currently AIX or Solaris), while the part
of the Mover (to which the PVL and Storage Servers communicate) that manages the storage
devices and performs data transfers runs on a remote node that does not require DCE or Encina
services. To support this mode of operations, there is some additional configuration which must be
done on the remote (non-DCE/Encina) node.
6.8.8.2.1 Add Non-DCE Mover Configuration
Use SSM to add non-DCE mover configuration.
Be sure to consider the ‘Advice’ sections for the Hostname and Data Hostname fields noted in Table
6-23 when filling in the Non-DCE Mover’s specific configuration.
