Appendix F. /var/hpss files
The /var/hpss directory tree is the default location of a number of HPSS configuration files, log files, and other files needed by the servers.
The directories and configuration files can be created with the mkhpss utility or hand created. Be very careful when using mkhpss utility as selecting the wrong option can damage the already partially configured HPSS 6.2 system. The log files and other files are created by the servers.
The directories in /var/hpss include:
acct. The usual directory to hold accounting report files and checkpoint files. This location is specified in the Accounting Policy. The administrator must regularly remove unneeded reports to
prevent | the /var/hpss filesystem from filling. |
adm. This directory contains one log file and one subdirectory:
•hpssd.failed_server. A file of log entries for server startups and terminations. Created and maintained by the startup daemon.
•core. The default directory where HPSS servers put “core” files if they terminate abnormally. The system administrator must clean out old core files regularly to avoid filling up /var/hpss.
cred. The default directory where Kerberos credential files for HPSS servers are placed. doc. The default directory where the HPSS documentation is installed.
etc. The default directory where many UNIX configuration files are placed. These files include:
•HPSS.conf. An ftp configuration file. See Appendix D: HPSS.conf Configuration File.
•auth.conf. Created by mkhpss. Lists HPSS GAS libraries and functions for performing initialization of authentication manager: Kerberos, Unix, or GSI.
•authz.conf. Created by mkhpss. Lists HPSS SEC libraries and functions for performing initialization of authorization manager: LDAP or Unix.
•env.conf. Created as empty file by mkhpss. Contains site specific environment variables for HPSS. This file is new in HPSS 6.2. Upon startup, utilities and servers in HPSS automatically source this file for necessary environment variables.
•ep.conf. Created by hpss_bld_ep program in HPSS_ROOT/config. Contains the UUID endpoints for clients to contact the HPSS sites.
•hpss.keytab. Created by mkhpss. Contains the username and password for HPSS servers to use for Kerberos authentication with a keytab file.
•hpss.unix.keytab. Created by the hpss_unix_keytab program. Contains the username and password for HPSS servers to use for Unix authentication with a keytab file.
•mm.keytab. Created by mkhpss. The keytab for user hpss. Used by utilities which read the DB2 databases.
