6.6.6 Configure the Remote Site Policy
Whenconnecting multiple HPSS systems together, the Location Servers at the local site need to be
told about their counterparts at the remote sites. Each record in the Remote Site file tells the local
LocationServers how to contact the Location Servers at that particular remote site. All of the fields
can be obtained by looking at the Local HPSS Site Identification information on the remote HPSS
system's Location Policy screen.
Remote Site Policy configuration is required to support a federated name space Configuration
(Section 1.2.8: Federated Name Space on page 21).
Remote site information can be created and maintained using theRemote Sites window.
From theHPSS Health and Status window (Figure 6-1 on page 252), click on the Admin menu,
selectthe Configure HPSS option and click on the Remote Sites option. The Remote Sites window
willbe displayed as shown in Figure 6-13. If a single Remote Site already exists, it will be displayed
in the window. Otherwise, the fields will be blank.

associated environment variable for this field is changed accordingly for all HPSS
interfaces.
