What’s in This Version
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.
