| ### Configuring DFS Servers You can configure the following types of DFS servers: · A System Control machine, which distributes system configuration information that is shared by all DFS server machines in a cell. · A Fileset Location Database machine, which tracks and records the locations of all filesets. At least one is required in each cell. You can run multiple Fileset Location Database servers for to help ensure the server's availability at all times. · A File Server machine, which exports LFS and non-LFS data to the global DFS namespace. · A Private File Server, which also exports file system data to the global DFS namespace. A private File Server machine is controlled by the owner of the machine, not by the system administrator. The purpose of a private File Server machine is to allow individual users to export a small number of filesets. A Private File Server does not support replicated filesets. Note: System Control machines can also be used as Binary Distribution machine. Although you must configure at least one Fileset Location Database machine, all other DFS server machines are optional. Note that if your are configuring a System Control machine, you should configure it first because you are prompted to enter its name during the Fileset Location Database machine configuration. Otherwise, you should configure the Fileset Location Database machine first.
