2.10.2.1 Global Configuration Metadata
Global Configuration File (globalconfig) - This file contains configuration data that is global to an
HPSS system. Since it only ever contains one small metadata record, it plays a negligible role in
determining metadata size.
2.10.2.2 Storage Subsystem Metadata
StorageSubsystem Configurations (storsubsysconfig) - Each storage subsystem defined in HPSS has
arecord describing its default COS, associated Gatekeeper, and allowed COS ids. This file is small
and will only grow when new subsystems are added. Therefore it plays a negligible role in
determining metadata size.
2.10.2.3 Server Configuration Metadata
HPSS uses the following SFS server configuration metadata files (the default SFS file names are
shown in parentheses):
General Server Configurations (serverconfig)
BFS Configurations (bfs)
DMAP Gateway Configurations (dmg)
Gatekeeper Server Configurations (gkconfig)
Log Client Configurations (logclient)
Log Daemon Configurations (logdaemon)
