IBM HPSS manual Linux Requirements, Hpss Mover Nodes

•IBM ATL: atldd.driver 6.5.2.0 and Atape.driver 10.2.8.0 (if planning to control the IBM tape library and drives from this node)

3.3.2.1.2. Linux Requirements

Each Linux server node must have the following installed:

•Linux machine (eServer zSeries) with a minimum of 2 GB RAM

•Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 3, kernel 2.6.9-34.ELsmp)

•DB2 UDB V8.2 Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) for Linux (32-bit) with ixPak 4. Note that FixPak 12 for DB2 8.1 is the same as DB2 UDB Version 8.2 with FixPak 4.

•Java JDK 1.4.2_06 for Linux. Upgrade to J2SE 1.4.2_06 or later within the Java 1.4.2 set of fixes/releases.

•MIT Kerberos 1.3.4-10 (if planning to use Kerberos authentication - installed as part of the operating system)

•IBM LDAP 5.2 (if planning to use LDAP authorization)

•C compiler for Linux: gcc-3.4.5 (if planning to recompile HPSS code on this node)

•IBM ATL: ibmatl-5.3.9.0-0 (if planning to use IBM tape library and drives from this node)

3.3.2.2. HPSS Mover Nodes

A Mover consists of two processes: the mover administrative process that runs on the server node, and the remote mover process that handles the HPSS devices and data transfers. To maximize performance, the remote mover should not be placed on a node with DB2 and HPSS subsystem servers.

Since HPSS security, logging and metadata services are preformed on the server node, no additional software, like DB2 or HPSS servers, need to be installed on the remote Mover node.

3.3.2.2.1. AIX Requirements

Each AIX Mover node must have the following prerequisites:

•IBM RS/6000 (eServer pSeries) with a minimum of 1 GB RAM

•AIX 5.2 with ML9 + APAR IY89387 or AIX 5.3 with ML5 + APAR IY89429 (32-bit or 64- bit)

•C compiler for AIX, version 7.0.0.8 (if planning to recompile HPSS code)

•IBM ATL: ibmatl-6.5.2.0 and Atape.driver 9.1.0.0 (if planning to use IBM tape library and drives from this node)

3.3.2.2.2. Linux Requirements

Each Linux Mover node must have the following prerequisites:

•Linux machine (eServer zSeries) with a minimum of 1 GB RAM

•Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 3, kernel 2.6.9-34.ELsmp)

•IBM ATL: ibmatl-6.5.2.0 (if planning to use IBM tape library from this node)
