TotalRecords—This column shows the projected number of metadata recordsfor each metadata file,
given the assumptions from the assumption worksheet. The formulas for computing the number
ofrecords are shown below. Note that the variable names on the left match the metadata file names
listed in the Subsystem/Metadata File column while variables on the right of the equals sign (“=”)
represent values from the assumptions worksheet (unless otherwise noted).
The following are subsystem independent:
ACCT/Accounting Policies (accounting) = 1
ACCT/Summary Records (acctsum) = Total Number of Users * (Avg Number of Levels Per
Hierarchy + 1)
ACCT/Snapshot Records (acctsnap) = Total Number of Users * (Avg Number of Levels Per
Hierarchy + 1)
ACCT/Validation Records (acctvalidate) = Total Number of Users * (Avg Number of Levels Per
Hierarchy + 1)
BFS/Classes of Service (cos) = Total Classes of Service
BFS/Server Configs (bfs) = Total BFS Servers
BFS/Storage Classes (storageclass) = Total Storage Classes
BFS/Storage File Families (filefamily) = Total Storage Families
BFS/Storage Hierarchies (hierarchy) = Total Storage Hierarchies
DMAP Gateway Configurations (dmg) = Total Number of DMAP Gateways
DMAP Gateway Filesets (dmgfileset) = Total Number of DMAP Gateways * Max Filesets Per
DMAP Gateway
GK/Server Configs (gkconfig) = Total Gatekeeper Servers
LOC/Location Server Policies (lspolicy) = 1
LOG/Log Client Server Configs (logclient) = Total Log Clients
LOG/Log Daemon Server Configs (logdaemon) = 1
LOG/Log Policies (logpolicy) = Total HPSS Servers
MMON/Servers (mmonitor) = Total Metadata Monitor Servers
MOVR/Devices (moverdevice) = Total Disk Physical Volumes + Total Tape Devices
