byEncina, to allow the user to create and manage the SFS files created for HPSS. The Manage SFS
Filesoption should not be selected until the SFS has been configured as discussed in Section 5.5.2:

5.5.6 Add SSM Administrative User
The HPSS system is ready to be configured using SSM once the HPSS software is installed on the
node, and the HPSS infrastructure components are configured. Themkhpss script will optionally
allow the user to configure an SSM user with authority level of “administrator” to use SSM to
configure the HPSS system.
Themkhpss script will invoke a subset of the HPSS User Management Utility (hpssuser) to create
the SSM User ID and password, the required Sammi configuration data, and the required UNIX
andDCE accounts (if they do not already exist) for the SSM user. Due to the system limit, the length
of the user ID must not exceed eight characters. If this step is not desired at this point, refer to
