n

4.5 as a list of SSM "consoles", is available in 6.2 as part of the System

 

 

 

Manager Statistics window from both the hpssgui and hpssadm.

 

 

 

The menu bar has been reorganized extensively.

 

n

 

The "Set Keyboard", "Show Sammi Environment", "View Sammi Errlog",

 

 

 

and "About Sammi" items from the 4.5 Session menu and the "SSM

 

 

 

consoles" item from the 4.5 Monitor menu are no longer available.

 

 

 

Some of the information about the gui session and data server which was

 

 

 

formerly available from these screens is now available in 6.2 from the

 

 

 

"System Manager Statistics" and "User Session Information" items from

 

 

 

the "SSM Information" submenu of the "Monitor" menu. Some

 

 

 

information is also available in the new user session log. See Chapter 3:

 

 

 

Using SSM in the HPSS Management Guide for a full description of the

 

 

 

layout of the menu and a description of the functions available from each

 

 

 

menu item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Monitor, Operations, and Configure menus are available in a menu

 

n

 

tree on the bottom half of the Health and Status window. The tree is

 

 

 

organized exactly as the corresponding items from the menu bar, and the

 

 

 

functionality of each item is the same as its corresponding item on the

 

 

 

menu bar.

 

 

 

The View menu of the Health and Status screen allows some portions of

 

n

 

the screen to be hidden or redisplayed.

 

 

 

The PVR Cartridge Threshold is included in the HPSS Status section of

 

n

n

the Health and Status information. When the status is something other

 

 

 

than OK, the PVR Information button on the GUI screen will become

 

 

 

activated; clicking this button will bring up a window for each PVR

 

 

 

cartridge that is not healthy.

 

 

 

To support users with color blindness or other visual problems, all text is

 

n

 

now displayed on white or light gray backgrounds. Color (green, yellow,

 

 

 

red) is still used to indicate the severity level of alarms and component

 

 

 

statuses, but the color is confined to a small sphere displayed next to the

 

 

 

text. For example, a major alarm might be displayed on the Alarms and

 

 

 

Events screen as:

 

 

 

May 2, 2005 11:26:13 AM Major PVL Bad things happened

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More than one preference may now be defined for each list. See the

 

n

 

description of the "preferences combo box" in Section 3.6: Common

 

 

 

Window Elements of the HPSS Management Guide for details.

 

 

 

Note that the mechanism for selecting columns to be displayed in each list

 

n

 

window has moved from the list's Preferences window to the "Column

 

 

 

View" menu of the list window itself. See the description of the "Column

 

 

 

View" menu item in Section 3.6:Common Window Elements of the HPSS

 

 

 

Management Guide for details.
