Chapter 6 HPSS Conﬁguration

6.1 Overview

This chapter provides instructions for creating the conﬁguration data to be used by the HPSS

servers.This includes creating the server conﬁguration, deﬁning the storage policies, and deﬁning

the storage characteristics. The conﬁguration data can be created, viewed, modiﬁed, or deleted

usingthe HPSS SSM GUI windows. Refer to Appendix F: AdditionalSSM Information (page 525) for

more information on how to use SSM.

Tocreate or modify the HPSS conﬁguration data, we recommend that the administrator be familiar

with the information described for the HPSS planning process as documented in Chapter 2. The

procedures described in this chapter assume that the HPSS installation and infrastructure

conﬁguration have been completed.

6.1.1 HPSS Conﬁguration Roadmap

Thefollowing steps summarize the conﬁguration for the HPSS system. It is very important that the

steps be performed in the order listed. Each step is discussed in more detail in the referenced

section.

1. Conﬁgure and start up SSM (Section 6.2:SSM Conﬁguration and Startup on page 252)

2. Create global conﬁguration (Section 6.3:Global Conﬁguration on page 255)

3. Create storage subsystem conﬁguration (Section 6.4:Storage Subsystems Conﬁguration on

page 259)

4. Createa basic conﬁguration entry for each HPSS server (Section 6.5: Basic Server Conﬁgura-

tion on page 262)

5. Conﬁgure HPSS storage policies (Section 6.6:HPSS Storage Policy Conﬁguration on page

279)

6. ConﬁgureHPSS storage characteristics (Section 6.7: HPSS Storage Characteristics Conﬁgura-

tion on page 305)

7. Update global and storage subsystem conﬁgurations (Section 6.3: Global Conﬁguration on

page 255 and Section 6.4:Storage Subsystems Conﬁguration on page 259)
