To save window space, the last four categories are presented in “layers”, and each layer has its
name displayed on a “tab”. To access a different layer, click on the appropriate tab. Table 6-3 lists
thefields on the Basic Server Configuration window in the approximate order that they appear on
the window.

General Information. The following fields describe the server’s general information.
Server Name Thedescriptive name used
to look up a server’s
configuration parameters
in Encina SFS. As with
UUIDs, each descriptive
name in HPSS must be
unique.
Anycharacter string up to
31 bytes in length. Based on the server
type and the number
ofservers of that type
that already exist.
Advice:Ensure that the Descriptive Name is unique. A server’s descriptive name
shouldbe meaningful to local site administrators and operators, in contrast to the
server’scorresponding UUID, which has meaning for DCE and HPSS. For HPSS
systems spanning more than one subsystem, it is very helpful to append the
subsystem ID to the Server Name of subsystem-specific servers. For instance,
“BFS_2” for the BFS in subsystem 2.
Server ID A unique ID used to
distinguish servers in the
HPSS. Each server must
have a unique Server ID.
Anyvalid non-null UUID. Anew and unique ID
is generated by SSM
during the
configurationprocess
as a default.
Advice: Ensure that each server has a unique Server ID. If a server ID is not
unique, SSM will not be able to distinguish servers and will not be able to
correctly map between human-oriented descriptive names and machine-oriented
UUIDs for display purposes.UUIDs are meaningful primarily to the storage
systemand DCE. Normally, they will not need to be directly specified or changed
from SSM.
Server Type The type of HPSS server. This field is filled in with
theserver type selected by
the user as part of the
window’s selection. It is
not changeable.
Server type selected
by the user.
