Chapter 6 HPSS Configuration
300 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide
Release 4.5, Revision 2
6.6.5 Configure the Location Policy
All of the Location Servers at the local HPSS site share the same Location Policy. The Location
Policy is used by the Location Servers to determine how and how often information should be
updated. In general, most of the default values for the policy can be used as defined.
The Location Policy can be created using the Location Policy window. After the Location Policy is
created, it can be viewed, updated, or deleted through the same window.
From the HPSS Health and Status window (shown in Figure 6-1), click on the Admin menu, select
the Configure HPSS option and click on the Location Policy option. The Location Policy window
will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-12. If the Location Policy does not exist, the fields will be
displayed with default values for a new policy. Otherwise, the configured policy will be displayed.
To add a new policy, change the default fields as desired and click on the Add button to create the
policy.
To update an existing policy, modify the desired fields and click on the Update button to write the
changes to the SFS file.
To delete an existing policy, click on the Delete button to delete the policy.
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.
Record Types
to Log
Record types that are to be
logged for the specified
server.
Any combination of the
following: Alarm, Event,
Request, Security,
Accounting, Debug,
Trace, Status.
Alarm,
Event,
Request,
Security,
Accounting,
Debug,
Status
Advice: It is recommended that at least the Alarm, Event, Security and Status
record types be selected for all servers while they are running normally.
Additional record types for debugging purposes should be selected for servers
experiencing problems. If system performance is being degraded by excessive
logging, first filter out Trace, Debug and Request record types from all servers.
Other record types can be filtered out as necessary. However, the HPSS
administrator may lose useful debugging information when problems occurred.
Record Types
for SSM
Record types that are to be
sent to SSM for display.
Any combination of the
following: Alarm, Event,
Status.
Alarm,
Event,
Status
Advice: If SSM or system performance is degraded because excessive messages
are being sent to SSM by a particular server(s), set the Logging Policy to filter
out Alarm and Event record types. However, the HPSS administrator will lose
visibility into any subsequent Alarm or Event messages from that server(s).
