Chapter 8 Initial Startup and Verification
466 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide
Release 4.5, Revision 2
8.8 Creating HPSS directories
If Log Archiving is enabled, use an HPSS namespace tool such as scrub or pftp, create the /log
directory in HPSS. This directory must be owned by hpss_log and have permissions rwxr-xr-x.
8.9 Verifying HPSS Configuration
After HPSS is up and running, the administrator should use the following checklist to verify that
HPSS was configured correctly:
8.9.1 Global Configuration
• Verify that a Default Class of Service has been selected.
• Verify that a Root Name Server has been selected.
8.9.2 Storage Subsystem Configuration
• Verify that a Default Class of Service Override has been selected if desired.
• Verify that a Gatekeeper has been selected if gatekeeping or account validation is required.
• Verify that the Allowed Classes of Service list has been filled in correctly.
• Verify that a Name Server, Bitfile Server, Migration/Purge Server, and appropriate Disk
and/or Tape Storage Servers have been configured for easy storage subsystem.
• Verify that each storage subsystem is accessible by using lsjunctions and ensuring that
there is at least one junction to the Root fileset of each subsystem. (The root fileset for a
given subsystem can be found in the specific configuration for the subsystem’s Name
Server)
8.9.3 Servers
• Verify that all required HPSS servers are configured properly and the servers are up and
running.
• Verify that a log policy is configured for each server. The HPSS log should be reviewed
periodically to verify that the desired level of information is logged. In addition, verify that
all Mover log policies have the DEBUG flag turned on to aid in the diagnostics of future
data transfer problems.
8.9.4 Devices and Drives
• Verify that all devices/drives are configured and each is assigned to an appropriate PVR/
Mover.
