hpss_md_convert_51. This program will rename the HPSS 5.1 tables by prepending the original table name with PRE62_ so that the original metadata in HPSS 5.1 is preserved. The hpss_md_convert_51 utility calls the following programs to perform the conversion:

•hpss_51_62_dmg – Reads the 5.1 metadata from the PRE62_DMG table, modifies the metadata as needed, and inserts into the DMG table for use in HPSS 6.2

•hpss_51_62_dmgfileset - Reads the 5.1 metadata from the PRE62_DMGFILESET table, modifies the metadata as needed, and inserts into the DMGFILESET table for use in HPSS 6.2

•hpss_51_62_gatekeeper – Reads the 5.1 metadata from the PRE62_GATEKEEPER table, modifies the metadata as needed, and inserts into the GATEKEEPER table for use in HPSS 6.2

•hpss_51_62_lspolicy - Reads the 5.1 metadata from the PRE62_LSPOLICY table, modifies the metadata as needed, and inserts into the LSPOLICY table for use in HPSS 6.2

•hpss_51_62_moverdevice - Reads the 5.1 metadata from the PRE62_MOVERDEVICE table, modifies the metadata as needed, and inserts into the MOVERDEVICE table for use in HPSS 6.2

•hpss_51_62_server - Reads the 5.1 metadata from the PRE62_DMG table, modifies the metadata as needed, and inserts into the DMG table for use in HPSS 6.2

HPSS 5.1 to 6.2 Verification Utilities

There are no verification utilities for the HPSS 5.1 to 6.2 conversion.

6.3. HPSS 6.2 Upgrade Procedures

This section provides the step-by-step procedures to upgrade an HPSS 4.5 or 5.1 system to HPSS 6.2. Each step must be performed in the order in which it is listed. Part of the procedure can be performed while the 4.5 or 5.1 system is running to minimize the downtime associated with the actual conversion.

The conversion procedure described in this section must be performed for each storage subsystem. Since the conversion steps vary slightly depending on whether the root subsystem or the non-root subsystem is being converted, they are identified accordingly. For clarity, the root subsystem is the subsytem which owns the HPSS "/" directory, usually subsystem 1. A non-root subsystem is any other subsystem in the HPSS system.

•Some steps in this section can be performed while the HPSS 4.5 or 5.1 system is running

• All conversion steps must be performed while running as root

6.3.1. Verify Prerequisites

Verify that all conversion requirements are met and any limitation issues are resolved.

Refer to Section 6.2.2: Upgrade Requirements and Limitations on page 182 for more information.

6.3.2. Acquire Software

Refer to Section 3.3.2, Prerequisite Summary By HPSS Node Type on page 59 for the appropriate software levels.
