Next, use mkhpss and select the Configuration option and then Other Services option to configure the IEEE address for HPSS. This will create the /var/hpss/etc/ieee_802_addr file. This is only used by HPSS and will not affect other services on this system. Without performing this option the HPSS RPC mechanisms will fail. Note that an error may occur about not finding the SSM server configuration, and this is expected and should be ignored because the SSM server metadata has not been converted yet. For an example, see the screen shot below:
