Preface

About this book

The HPSS Installation Guide is for use both at system installation time as well as throughout the lifetime of the system. It will guide system administrators through the planning and installation of a new HPSS system. It also guides system administrators through the conversion process to upgrade existing HPSS systems to Release 6.2. It serves as a reference whenever the system is reconfigured by the addition, deletion, or modification of hosts, tape libraries, devices, or other components.

Chapter 1 discusses HPSS changes for Release 6.2. Chapter 2 gives an overview of HPSS technology.

Chapters 3-5 guide administrators of new HPSS systems through planning, system preparation, HPSS software installation, and configuration of the HPSS infrastructure.

Chapter 6 guides administrators of existing 4.5 or 5.1 HPSS systems through the conversion process, bringing those systems up to Release 6.2.
