trying to insert the converted metadata. If this resulted from previously running the metadata conversion, and the metadata should be re-converted, then identify the table name (e.g. “HPSS.SERVERINTERFACES”) and empty the table by executing a

% db2 delete from <table name>

statement where <table name> is the exact table name in the statement (e.g. HPSS.SERVER). If the conversion for this table has not been previously, then contact your HPSS customer support representative before deleting the metadata as the metadata may be necessary for HPSS operation.

6.4.2.2. hpss_init_server_acls Errors

Description of Error: The program provides the following error output:

% hpss_init_server_acls

Error in stat of Keytab File, /var/hpss/etc/mm.keytab, 2 connect: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation. Failed to get default ACL:

<no error>

Resolution: This error implies that the program cannot contact the site’s configured authorization mechanism as specified in /var/hpss/etc/site.conf. Check the entry for this hostname in the site.conf file and ensure that the mechanism is functioning correctly. In tests, this usually indicated that LDAP was not running, and the problem was resolved by simply starting LDAP on the test system.

6.5. HPSS 4.5 Conversion Utilities Output

6.5.1. Interpreting Output from the 4.5 Conversion Utility

Generally, the following output is displayed when running a configuration or subsystem conversion program from the command line:

Running lr_db_convert_storagesegdisk utility...

Converting SFS file /.:/encina/sfs/hpss/storagesegdisk.1

The output indicates the name of the utility that is running and the name of the SFS file that it is currently converting. If the program exits with an error, take action to correct the error and rerun the conversion program again. Note that the conversion programs for configuration and subsystem metadata, db_config_convert and db_subsys_convert, will automatically empty all tables in the database; however, you can run db_config_convert_empty or db_subsys_convert_empty which will also empty the tables.

For the long running programs, you will see:

Running lr_db_convert_nsobject utility...

Converting SFS file /.:/encina/sfs/hpss/nsobjects.

The output indicates the name of the utility that is running and the name of the SFS file that it is currently converting. The program will pause after displaying this output so that it can perform the conversion. It will output a “.” for every 10,000 records it has converted and a number enclosed in brackets for every 500,000 records it has converted. Note, the “.” does not represent the number of records processed or the number of records in the SFS file, it only represents the number of records actually converted.

If the program appears to hang for longer than two minutes and it is killed (by ^C) , there is a chance that DB2 will be placed in an inconsistent state. Evidence of a DB2 inconsistency will be seen either
