HPSS servers include the Name Server, Bitfile Server, Migration/Purge Server, Storage Server,
Gatekeeper Server, Location Server, DMAP Gateway, Physical Volume Library, Physical Volume
Repository,Mover, Storage System Manager,and Non-DCE Client Gateway. Figure 1-3 provides a
simplified view of the HPSS system. Each major server component is shown, along with the basic
control communications paths (thin arrowed lines). The thick line reveals actual data movement.
Infrastructure items (those components that “glue together” the distributed servers) are shown at
thetop of the cube in gray scale. These infrastructure items are discussed in Section 1.3.4. HPSS user
interfaces (the clients listed in the figure) are discussed in Section 1.3.5.
