6.6.6 Configure the Remote Site Policy
When connecting multiple HPSS systems together, the Location Servers at the local site need to be
told about their counterparts at the remote sites. Each record in the Remote Site file tells the local
Location Servers how to contact the Location Servers at that particular remote site. All of the fields
can be obtained by looking at the Local HPSS Site Identification information on the remote HPSS
system's Location Policy screen.
Remote Site Policy configuration is required to support a federated name space Configuration
(Section 1.2.8: Federated Name Space on page 21).
Remote site information can be created and maintained using the Remote Sites window.
From the HPSS Health and Status window (Figure 6-1 on page 252), click on the Admin menu,
select the Configure HPSS option and click on the Remote Sites option. The Remote Sites window
will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-13. If a single Remote Site already exists, it will be displayed
in the window. Otherwise, the fields will be blank.
RPC Group Name The CDS pathname where
the DCE RPC group
containing local LS path
information should be
stored.
Any valid CDS pathname. /.:/hpss/ls/
group
Advice: All clients will need to know this group name since it is used by them when
initializing to contact the Location Server. If the default is not used, ensure that
associated environment variable for this field is changed accordingly for all HPSS
interfaces.
