Advice: Since the Global Configuration record must be created
beforeany servers are created, this field must initially be left blank.
Onceone or more Classes of Service have been created, the Global
Configuration window can be reopened to Update the record, and
a Default Class of Service can be selected. If no Default Class of
Service is ever input into this field, the Bitfile Server will fail to
start.
Root Name Server The Name Server which
manages the root fileset (“/”)
in the HPSS namespace.
Any Name
Server None
Advice: Since the Global Configuration record must be created
beforeany servers are created, this field must initially be left blank.
Once one or more Name Servers have been created, the Global
Configuration window can be reopened to Update the record, and
a root Name Server can be selected.
The root Name Server should be selected with care. Once it is
chosen,and the Update button is clicked, it cannot be changed as
longas the chosen server exists. If the root Name Server MUST be
changed,the current server's configuration will have to be deleted.
SSM will then allow another root Name Server to be selected.
