Release 4.5, Revision 2

Chapter 3 System Preparation

This section will cover the steps that must be taken to appropriately prepare your system for

installation and conﬁguration of HPSS and its infrastructure.

3.1 General

• EachHPSS administrator should request a login id and password to the IBM HPSS web site

athttp://www4.clearlake.ibm.com/hpss/support.jsp.

• Download a copy of the HPSS Installation and Management Guides for the version of

HPSS being installed. It will be useful to print a copy and keep it handy while deploying

HPSS.

• Install,conﬁgure, and verify the correct prerequisite operating system version on all HPSS,

DCE server, and SFS nodes.

To verify the current operating system level on AIX:

% oslevel

To verify the current operating system level on non-AIX platforms:

% uname -a

• Createappropriate HPSS Unix user accounts. The hpss user ID and hpss group ID should

be created at this time.

• Install the prerequisite software for DCE, Encina, Sammi, C compiler, Java, Perl, ssh, and

any other speciﬁc software that will be used by HPSS. Verify the correct patch levels are/

will be installed. Refer to Section 2.3:Prerequisite Software Considerations on page 46 for

additional information.

• Conﬁgurethe PERL prerequisite software on any HPSS node and, if planning to interface

with DFS, on any node that may be used for compiling the HPSS HDM server.

• Conﬁgurethe SSH prerequisite software on the core HPSS server node (at a minimum) and

conﬁgure SSH to accept connections from IBM Houston. Include the Houston subnet IP

address192.94.47 into the ﬁrewall routing rules of the site, as necessary.
