8.2 Starting the HPSS Servers
After the HPSS servers and their associated data are configured, they can be started up using SSM.
When they are started for the first time after HPSS configuration, it is recommended thatthe servers
be brought up one at a time, even though it is possible to start up all the configured servers at once.
Doing so will simplify the diagnostics of any server startup problems due to configuration errors.
