Chapter 6 HPSS Configuration
HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 269
Release 4.5, Revision 2
Execute Hostname The hostname on which a
particular server is to run.
SSM uses this field to
locate the Startup Daemon
that will execute the
server.
Any legal hostname, such
as a name that might be
obtained using the UNIX
hostname command.
Local hostname.
Advice: In order for a server to start, a Startup Daemon must be running. The
server will be started on the host which has a startup daemon running whose
configuration has a Execute Hostname field which matches exactly the one
specified in the server's basic configuration record. For Movers which will execute
in non-DCE mode, this field should contain the hostname corresponding to the
node on which the Mover DCE/Encina processes will run. More correctly, there
MUST be a startup daemon running on the node where the Mover DCE/Encina
processes are running which specifies the same exact Execute Hostname as is
specified in the non-DCE Mover's basic configuration.
Note: The SSM does not check if the server or the Startup Daemon is actually
running on the specified host. It simply compares the Execute Hostname of the
server with the Execute Hostname of each startup daemon until it finds a match.
UNIX Username The UNIX user name that
the server runs under. If
servers are running on
several hosts, the name
must be the name that is
used on the host that the
server will run on. The
name must be registered in
the local UNIX
authentication database
(e.g., /etc/passwd).
Any legal user name for
the host that the server
runs on.
root for the Startup
Daemon, NFS
Daemon, NFS Mount
Daemon, DMAP
Gateway.
hpss for all other
servers (see Advice
below).
Advice: If there is no such user, the Startup Daemon will not be able to start the
servers. The Startup Daemon, NFS Daemon, NFS Mount Daemon, DMAP
Gateway, and Non-DCE Gateway should have their UNIX Usernames set to
root, so do not modify the default for these servers.
