Chapter 6 HPSS Configuration
HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 259
Release 4.5, Revision 2
6.4 Storage Subsystems Configuration
The storage subsystem configuration information can be configured using the HPSS Storage
Subsystem Configuration window.
Due to the importance of the storage subsystem configuration metadata, great care must be taken
before updating it once the system is configured. If the storage subsystem configuration is updated
or deleted, all HPSS components, (including SSM) must be recycled.
From the HPSS Health and Status window (shown in Figure 6-1 on page 252), click on the Admin
menu, select the Configure HPSS option and click on the Storage Subsystems option. The Storage
Subsystem Configuration window will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-4. The fields are
displayed with default values for a new storage subsystem. If the default data is notdesired, change
the fields with the desired values. Click on the Add button to create the configuration entry.
To update an existing storage subsystem, select the Load Existing button on the Storage
Subsystem Configuration window and select the desired storage subsystem from the popup list.
The window will be refreshed with the configuration data. After modifying the data, click the
Update button to write the changes to the SFS file.
To delete an existing storage subsystem, select the Load Existing button on the Storage Subsystem
Configuration window and select the desired storage subsystem from the popup list. The window
will be refreshed with the configuration data. Click on the Delete button to delete the storage
subsystem.
Refer to the window's help file for more information on the individual fields and buttons as well as
the supported operations available from the window.
