Provide the operating system network configurations required by the desktop.
See Configuring Base Operating System Networking for the Desktop.
Install the desktop or the minimum set of files.
You must install:
Configure the system for the ToolTalk filename database server daemon rpc.ttdbserver.
This should happen automatically when the desktop is installed. For more information, see Configuring the ToolTalk Database Server.
Install and configure the subprocess control daemon (dtspcd).
This should happen automatically when the desktop is installed. For more information, see Configuring the Subprocess Control Daemon.
Mount all required remote data.
Data is considered “remote” when it is located on a system other than the system on which the application using the data is running.
For example:
If an application uses data located on a file server, it must mount those files.
If File Manager icons are located on an icon server, the session server must mount those files.
If the network uses a help server for desktop help files, the session server and all application servers must mount the help data.
For more information about mount points, see the next section, Configuring the Mount Point for Remote File Systems.
