Appendix D Accounting Examples
492 September 2002 HPSS Installation Guide
Release 4.5, Revision 2
about the storage used by a particular HPSS Account Index (AcctId) in a particular Class Of Service
(COS):
• The total number of file accesses (#Accesses) to files owned by the Account Index in the
Class Of Service. In general, file accesses are counted against the account of the user
accessing the file, not the owner of the file itself.
• The total number of files (#Files) stored under the Account Index in the Class Of Service.
• The total amount of data stored (Length) under the Account Index in the Class Of Service.
The second type of line has a non-zero value in the Storage Class column (SClass). This type of line
contains information about the storage used by a particular HPSS Account Index (AcctId) in a
particular Storage Class (SClass) within a particular Class Of Service (COS). These line contain the
following information:
• The total number of file accesses (#Accesses) in this particular Storage Class for the given
Class Of Service. If a class of service is configured to stage bitfiles on open, then all file
accesses will occur in the storage class at the top of the hierarchy.
• The total amount of data transferred (Transferred) into or out of this Storage Class and
Class Of Service for this particular Account Index. Note that data transferred is counted
against the owner of account transferring the data, not the owner of the data itself.
Note: File transfer information is not always accounted for when it occurs through
interfaces other than the HPSS Client API (i.e. HPSS NFS, HPSS DFS, etc.).
