6.1.3 Using SSM for HPSS Configuration
The HPSS server and resource configuration data may be created, viewed, updated, or deleted
using the SSM windows. The configuration data are kept in Encina SFS files.
When you submit a request to configure a new server, SSM displays all fields with the appropriate
default data. If the default values were not used during the installation and the infrastructure
configuration phases or are not desired, type over the displayed data with the desired values. Press
the Enter key after entering the data so that the new value is read by SSM.
As each server general configuration entry is created, SSM keeps track of the configured server to
aid the user in defining the remainder of the HPSS configuration and to allow the user to monitor
and manage the servers during the HPSS operational phase.
This guide presents and describes the configuration data displayed in the SSM configuration
windows in the form of tables. Each table lists the SSM window display field names and, for each
field, gives a description of the variable, acceptable values for the variable, and the default value of
the variable if one exists.
Many of the fields in the tables have an advice box that provides additional information about the
field.
6.1.3.1 Using the Help Window
All of the SSM windows provide a pop-up help window that contains detailed information about
the fields on the window. To display the help window, move the cursor to any blank space on the
window, hold down the Shift key, and click the right-most mouse button.
6.1.3.2 Using the HPSS Configuration Windows
All HPSS configuration data can be created, viewed, updated, and deleted using the appropriate
HPSS Configuration windows. You obtain these windows from the HPSS Health and Status
window that appears when you log on to the system (as discussed in Section 6.2.2). When the HPSS
Health and Status window (shown in Figure 6-1) appears, click on the Admin menu, select the
Configure HPSS option and click on the appropriate configuration option. The desired
configuration window will be displayed. Refer to the appropriate sections in this chapter for more
information on how to use the HPSS configuration windows to configure an HPSS system.
