Preface
Who Should Read This Book
The HPSS Management Guide is intended as a resource for HPSS administrators. For those performing the initial
configuration for a new HPSS system, Chapter 1 provides a configuration roadmap. For both new systems and those
upgraded from a previous release, Chapter 1 provides a configuration, operational, and performance checklist which
should be consulted before bringing the system into production. The remaining chapters contain the details for
configuring, reconfiguring, monitoring, and managing an HPSS system.
