SSM can be used to start up the following types of HPSS server:
• Bitfile Server
• DMAP Gateway
• Gatekeeper Server
• Location Server
• Log Client
• Log Daemon
• Metadata Monitor
• Migration/Purge Server
• Mover
• Name Server
• NFS Daemon
• NFS Mount Daemon
• Non-DCE Client Gateway
• Physical Volume Library
• Physical Volume Repository
• Storage Server
Before starting up the HPSS servers, ensure that all configured HPSS Startup Daemons are up and
running. As part of the HPSS initial configuration, the Startup Daemon was configured to be
invoked at the operating system startup. However, after configuration, it will need to be manually
started. Invoke the /etc/rc.hpss script as root to start the HPSS Startup Daemon. As a default, the
rc.hpss script will redirect all servers’ output to /dev/console. The rc.hpss script can also be
invoked with the -o option if redirection of the output to /dev/console is not desired.
If the servers’ output is to be redirected to /dev/console, ensure that the HPSSLOG variable in
the hpss_env file is not set to stdout since this combination may severely degrade the HPSS
performance.
It is recommended that the Log Daemon and the Log Client(s) be started up before the other HPSS
servers so that the HPSS servers’ startup messages are logged to aid in the startup problem
determinations.
Ensure that any required PVR controllers are up and running before bringing up the PVRs.
Refer to Section 1.6: Starting HPSS Servers on page 30 of the HPSS Management Guide for more
information on server startup.
