254 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide
Release 4.5, Revision 2
3. privileged. This security level is normally assigned to a privileged user such as an HPSS
system analyst. This SSM user can view most of the SSM windows but cannot perform any
SSM control functions.
4. user. This security level is normally assigned to an user who may have a need to monitor
some HPSS functions. This user can view a limited set of the SSM windows but cannot
perform any of the SSM control functions.
Refer to Appendix F: Additional SSM Information (page 525) for more information on setting up an
SSM account and the list of SSM windows accessible to each SSM user type.
Before bringing up the SSM session, ensure that the Sammi license key provided by Kinesix has
been properly set up. If it is not, refer to Section 4.5.3: Set Up Sammi License Key on page 213 for
instructions on setting up the Sammi license.
In addition to the above, the SSM session may also need a Motif key bindings file to ensure that
certain keyboard keys are defined in specific ways expected by Sammi. The key bindings file is
named .motifbind and must be placed in the user's home directory on the host where the user will
be displaying the SSM windows. Refer to Section F.4: Customizing SSM and Sammi on page 528 for
more information on how to set up the Motif key bindings file.
The SSM user session start_ssm_session script as supplied with HPSS can be used to bring up any
configured SSM session. To start up an SSM user session, invoke the startup script, start_ssm_
session, and enter the requested data when prompted. (The start_ssm_session script will not start
an SSM session if that session is already up and running.) After a brief interval, the SSM Logon
window (shown in Figure 6-2) will be displayed to allow the user to log on. Enter the valid DCE
User ID and Password before pressing the Enter key. After the user is authenticated by DCE, the
HPSS Health and Status window will be displayed. From this window, the user can proceed to
perform the HPSS configuration.
Before starting up the SSM user session, ensure that the Sun RPC servers and the SSM servers
are up and running.
There is no limit on the number of SSM sessions that can be brought up at the same time. However,
depending on the system workload, too many running SSM sessions may degrade the overall
system performance.
