Release 4.5, Revision 2
Root User ID The UID of the user who has
root access privileges to the
NS database, if the Root Is
Superuser flag is set to ON.
Valid root user
ID
0
Root Is Superuser A flag that indicates whether
root privileges are enabled for
the UID specified in the Root
User ID field. Root access
privileges grant the specified
user the same access rights to
a name space object as the
owner of that object.
ON, OFF ON
Default Class of Service The name of the default Class
of Service (COS). Bitfile
Servers will store new files in
this COS when the HPSS
client does not specify a COS
on the creation request. This
default can be overridden for
specific storage subsystems.
Any valid
COS
None
Advice: Since the Global Configuration record must be created
before any servers are created, this field must initially be left blank.
Once one or more Classes of Service have been created, the Global
Configuration window can be reopened to Update the record, and
a Default Class of Service can be selected. If no Default Class of
Service is ever input into this field, the Bitfile Server will fail to
start.
Root Name Server The Name Server which
manages the root fileset (“/”)
in the HPSS namespace.
Any Name
Server
None
Advice: Since the Global Configuration record must be created
before any servers are created, this field must initially be left blank.
Once one or more Name Servers have been created, the Global
Configuration window can be reopened to Update the record, and
a root Name Server can be selected.
The root Name Server should be selected with care. Once it is
chosen, and the Update button is clicked, it cannot be changed as
long as the chosen server exists. If the root Name Server MUST be
changed, the current server's configuration will have to be deleted.
SSM will then allow another root Name Server to be selected.
