check every bitfile descriptor in the 6.2 system. The -f and -l options check only the first and last number of bitfile descriptors provided with these options. To invoke this utility, see the usage below:

db_convert_address_check

-g <SFS Global Config File> -db <DB Names Text File> -ss <SSId Text File>

-s <Subsystem Id> [-a] (check all files)

[-f <Number>] (check first <Number> files) [-l <Number>] (check last <Number> files)

6.3.15. Upgrade from HPSS 5.1 to HPSS 6.2

Only follow procedures in this section if upgrading a system from HPSS 5.1 to HPSS 6.2.

To upgrade HPSS from version 5.1, run the hpss_md_convert_51 utility. The hpss_md_convert_51 program is a menu driven program that converts the 5.1 HPSS metadata to HPSS 6.2 metadata. It does not modify HPSS 5.1 metadata so that it is possible to revert to the HPSS 5.1 system during any point in the conversion process. The metadata changes are performed by renaming the 5.1 HPSS table by pre-pending the original table name with “PRE62_” and creating a new HPSS 6.2 table. The conversion then reads information from the HPSS 5.1 tables, makes the necessary metadata modifications in memory, and inserts the new metadata into the HPSS 6.2 table. In cases where a function is no longer supported, the pre-6.2 table is renamed pre-pending the original table name with "PRE62_", but the new table in HPSS 6.2 is not populated with metadata. All steps must be followed in order to successfully convert the metadata from HPSS 5.1 to HPSS 6.2.

To begin the metadata conversion, run the conversion program hpss_md_convert_51:

% hpss_md_convert_51
