Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM
The ability to see which users are logged into SSM, referred to in HPSS
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.
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.
n
The Monitor, Operations, and Configure menus are available in a menu
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.
n
The View menu of the Health and Status screen allows some portions of
the screen to be hidden or redisplayed.
n
The PVR Cartridge Threshold is included in the HPSS Status section of
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.
n n
To support users with color blindness or other visual problems, all text is
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
n
More than one preference may now be defined for each list. See the
description of the "preferences combo box" in Section 3.6: Common
Window Elements of the HPSS Management Guide for details.
n
Note that the mechanism for selecting columns to be displayed in each list
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.
