The Site Interfaces will be located in a shared library that is linked into the Gatekeeper Server . It is important that the Site Interfaces return a status in a timely fashion.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 71 Release 4.5, Revision 2 might be necessary by making requests to the appr opriate Physical V olume Repository (PVR). The PVL communicates directly with HPSS Movers in or der to verify media labels.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 72 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 2.6.9.2 L T O PVR The L TO PVR manages the IBM 3584 T ape Library and Robot, which mounts, dismounts and manges L TO tape cartridges and IBM 3580 tape drives. The PVR uses the Atape driver interface to issue SCSI commands to the library .
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 73 Release 4.5, Revision 2 2.6.10.1 Asynchronous I/O Asynchronous I/O must be enabled manually on AIX and Linux platforms. Ther e should be no asynchronous I/O setup r equired for Solaris or IRIX platforms.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 74 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 6. Now , rebuild the kernel configuration by running the " make config " command and answering "yes" when questioned about AIO support.

Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 77 Release 4.5, Revision 2 • Mover to Mover data transfers (accomplished for migration, staging, and repack operations) also will impact the planned Mover configuration.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 78 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 Even if no client NFS access is requir ed, the NFS interface may provide a useful mechanism for HPSS name space object administration. The HPSS NFS Daemon cannot be run on a pr ocessor that also runs the native operating system's NFS daemon.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 79 Release 4.5, Revision 2 use the descriptive name “Startup Daemon ( tardis )”. In addition, choose a similar convention for CDS names (for example, /.:/hpss/hpssd_tardis ). The Startup Daemon is started by running the script /etc/rc.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 80 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 requests to the DMAP Gateway . Migration processes ( hpss_hdm_mig ) migrate data to HPSS, and purge pr ocesses ( hdm_hdm_pur ) purge migrated data fr om DFS and XFS.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 81 Release 4.5, Revision 2 must be in use before pur ging begins, and a lower bound specifying the target per centage of free space to reach befor e purging is stopped.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 82 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 2.8.1 Migration P olicy The migration policy provides the capability for HPSS to copy (migrate) data fr om one level in a hierarchy to one or mor e lower levels.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 83 Release 4.5, Revision 2 • The Migrate At W arning Threshold option causes MPS to begin a migration run immediately when the storage class warning threshold is r eached regar dless of when the Runtime Interval is due to expire.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 84 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 laterally to another volume in the same storage class. T ape file migration with purge avoids moving read active files at all. If a file is read inactive, all thr ee algorithms migrate it down the hierarchy .
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 85 Release 4.5, Revision 2 • The Start purge when space used reaches <nnn> percent parameter allows sites control over the amount of free space that is maintained in a disk storage class.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 86 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 In UNIX-style accounting, each user has one and only one account index, their UID. This, combined with their Cell Id, uniquely identifies how the information may be charged.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 87 Release 4.5, Revision 2 If a user has their default account index encoded in a string of the form AA=<default-acct-idx> in their DCE account's gecos field or in their DCE principal's HPSS.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning 88 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide Release 4.5, Revision 2 2.8.4.3 FTP/PFTP By default, FTP and Parallel FTP (PFTP) interfaces use a username/password mechanism to authenticate and authorize end users.
Chapter 2 HPSS Planning HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 89 Release 4.5, Revision 2 2.8.4.7 Name Space Enforcement of access to HPSS name space objects is the r esponsibility of the HPSS Name Server .
