Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM

The hpssadm config command now supports the additional structures:

•Class of Service Config

•Storage Class (but not subsystem-specific storage class options)

•Global Config

•Accounting Policy

•Location Policy

•All server configurations; servers which were not supported before are

the core server, gatekeeper, location server, log daemon,

migration/purge server, pvl, all pvrs, and ssm. The mover, log client

and startup daemon are still supported as previously.

n

A new command “task” displays the status of any long running background

tasks submitted during the session, such as imports or resource creates.

n

A new subcommand “update” has been added to the hpssadm device

command for updating the mover device and pvl drive objects.

1.4.4.2. Changes Affecting Sites Upgrading from 5.1

Changes since 5.1 Server GUI ADM

The SSM System Manager and Data Server were consolidated in release

6.2 into a single server, the SSM System Manager.

n

Java is no longer used in the server side of SSM (the new consolidated

SSM System Manager).

n

SSL is no longer supported with SSM. This means it is no longer

necessary to create an SSL certificate (the /var/hpss/ssm/ds.cer file) or

import it into the certificate authority file ($JAVA_ROOT/jre/l ib/cacerts)

on each ssm client machine.

n n n

The Java Security Manager is no longer used with SSM. This means the

Java policy files are no longer required. In 5.1, these files were the

java.policy.ds and the java.policy.ssmuser.

n n n

The start_ssm script is no longer available. The SSM System Manager is

started with the rc.hpss script. The rc.hpss script has been moved from a

default location of /etc to /opt/hpss/bin.

n

There are new versions of the hpssgui and hpssadm startup scripts in perl

and vbs. These are named with an extension to indicate the type of script:

hpssadm.pl, hpssadm.vbs, hpssgui.pl and hpssgui.vbs. The ksh and bat

scripts are no longer supported.

The scripts are no longer distributed as templates; they will be packaged

into the $HPSS_PATH_BIN (default /opt/hpss/bin) directory.
