General Server Configurations. Every HPSS server (except for the SSM Data Server) must have a
general configuration record describing its DCE principal, CDS server name, executable pathname,
etc. SSM and the Startup Daemons use the information in this metadata file to properly start HPSS
servers. HPSS servers also use the entry to determine where more specific configuration
information is stored (information unique to that type of server). All other configuration metadata
files described below fall into this category.
BFS Configurations. Each BFS must have an entry in the BFS configuration metadata file describing
various startup/control arguments.
Gatekeeper Server Configurations. Each Gatekeeper Server (GK) must have an entry in this
configuration metadata file describing various startup/control arguments. Zero or more GKs may
be defined. If the GK is going to be used for Account Validation Services then at least one GK must
be defined. If the GK is going to be used for Gatekeeping Services, then at least one GK must be
defined and the GK also needs to be configured into the appropriate storage subsystems’
configuration records.
NS Configurations. Each NS must have an entry in the NS configuration metadata file describing
various startup/control arguments.
Log Client Configurations. Each Log Client must have an entry in this configuration metadata file
describing various startup/control arguments. Since a Log Client should be defined for each node
that will run one or more HPSS servers (including Movers), the number of entries in this metadata
file should be equal to the number of nodes used by HPSS.
Log Daemon Configurations. This metadata file describes startup/control information used by the
Log Daemon. Only one Log Daemon is used in HPSS.
Metadata Monitor Configurations. Each Metadata Monitor (MMON) must have an entry in this
configuration metadata file describing various startup/control arguments. The number of MMON
servers will be equal to the number of Encina SFS servers planned for the HPSS environment.
Migration/Purge Server Configurations. This metadata file describes startup/control information
used by the MPS Server. One or more MPS servers may be defined.
