Cha pte r 1. Re leas e 6. 2 This chapter sum marizes HPSS changes for Release 6.2 into four categories : new feat ures, ret ired features, deferred features, and changed f eatures. Changes since release 4.5 and 5.1 are described. 1.1 . New Fe atu re s This section describes the new HPSS feat ures added to Release 6.
• Storage Class (but not subsystem-specific storage class options) • Global conf iguration • Accounting pol icy • Location policy • All server configuration. Newly supported options include Core Server, Gatekeeper, Location Server, Log Daemon, Migration/ Purge Server, PVL, all P VRs, and SSM.
1.1 .1 2. Dr ive P oo ls HPSS provides HPSS end clients the abili ty to direct tape read I/O requests to a predef ined group of tape dr ives referred to as a Drive Pool. This abilit y helps HPSS administra tors m anage t ape drive scheduli ng and thus avai labilit y .
1.1 .1 8. Move r Enh an cem ent Multipl e Movers for one or more HPSS inst ances can now be configure d to run on the same machine. The - c <altern ate var path> flag i s added to the Mover entr y in the inet d configurat ion fil e to specif y an alterna te " /var/hpss" path to be used by the Mover.
Core Server's memory image • Modifie d the DMG ta ble. In support of the new HPSS RPC li brary, the TCP port was eliminated and the Program and Version num bers were added to DMG specifi c configur ation. • Modifie d the DMGFILESET tabl e. The TCP port was eliminated and the TCP hostname and RPC endpoint information was added.
files y stems do not support mirrored namespaces, fields which were specific to managing mirrored fil esets are also no longer availabl e. This includes the fol lowing configurati on options: · Globa.
1.4 .4 . SSM C han ges Significant changes were m ade in SSM between Releases 4.5 and 5.1 and agai n between 5. 1 and 6.2. For the reader's convenience, all changes between 4.5 and 6.2 are summarized in Sec tion 3.3. 4.1: Changes Affe cting Sites Upgradin g Directly from 4.
Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM The SSM client scripts now use an inte rnal poll ing mechanism for getting window upda tes (as opposed to be ing notified of the updat e by the server).
Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM The SSM client scripts can use ports exempted by the network administrato r as fi rewall exc eptions. See the -n option on the hpssadm/hpssgui man pages. The port on which t he Sy stem Manager will listen m ay be controll ed by setting t he $HPSS_SSM_SERVER_LISTEN_PORT environment variable .
Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM The abil ity to see which users are logged into SSM, referred to i n HPSS 4.5 as a li st of SSM "consoles", is availabl e in 6.2 as part of the System Manager Stat istics window from both t he hpssgui and hpss adm .
Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM Column ordering is now controlled by dragging columns to the desired location. The modified order i s preserved aut om atic ally in the user prefere nces a cross hpssgui restarts. n When messages have been written to the stat us bar, the most recent messages can be viewed in the st atus bar's toolt ip.
Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM The HPSS 4.5 hpssadm comm ands • pvr_cartridge • pvl_volume • ss_pv • ss_map • ss_vv have been replaced by a single com mand "volume".
Changes since 4.5 Server GUI ADM The hpssad m config comm and now support s the additional structur es: • Class of Service Config • Storage Class (but not subsystem-specific storage class options).
Changes since 5.1 Server GUI ADM Options to the hpssgui and hpssadm startup scripts have changed significant ly . See the man pages for detail s. Following are some highlights: n n The scri pts are dependent upon an ssm configurati on file (ssm.conf), crea ted by mkhpss, which cont ains some site-spec ific configurati on values.
Changes since 5.1 Server GUI ADM The SSM client script options f or connecting to the System Manager across a Virtual Private Network connection (VPN) have changed.
Changes since 5.1 Server GUI ADM The m enu bar has been re organized slightly. The "Data Server Stat istics " menu item has be en replaced by the "System Manager Stat istics" menu item, availabl e from the Moni tor->SSM Information menu path.
Changes since 5.1 Server GUI ADM The m echanism f or selecti ng columns to be di splayed in e ach list window has moved from the list 's Preferences window to the "Column View" menu of the li st window itself. See the desc ription of the "Col umn View" menu item in Secti on 3.
Changes since 5.1 Server GUI ADM Since SSM now represents the thr ee Core Server volume structures as a single st ructure, the types specif ied t o the hpssad m volum e comm and have changed. The 5.1 types: • Disk Storage Map Inform ation • Disk Phy sic al Vol ume Inform ation • Disk Virtua l Volu m e Information have been repl aced in 6.
Changes since 5.1 Server GUI ADM A new subcommand “update” has been added to the hpssadm device comm and f or updating the m over device and pvl drive obje cts.

Cha pte r 2. HPSS Bas ics 2.1 . In tr odu ct ion The High Performance Storage Sy stem (HPSS) provides hierarc hical storage management and services for very large storage environments.
2.2 .4 . Ba sed o n S tan da rd Co mpo nen ts HPSS runs on UNIX and is written in ANSI C and Java. It uses remote proc edure call s, a selec table securit y service (Ker beros or UNIX), UN IX or LDAP for user configura tion inf ormation, and DB2 as the basis for it s portable, distribu ted, t ransaction-base d architec ture.
2.3 . HPS S Com pon ent s The com ponents of HPSS include files, filese ts, junc tions, virtual volumes, physical volumes, storage segments, metadata, servers, infr astructur e, user interface s, a management interfac e, and policies.
Figure 2. Class of Service / Hierarchy / Storage C lass 2.3 .1 . HPS S Fi les, Fi lese ts , V olum es , St ora ge S egm ent s an d R ela te d Met ada ta The various metadata const ructs used to descri be t he HPSS namespace and HPSS storage are describe d below: • Files (Bitf iles ) .
recorded on these t apes. HPSS support s grouping fil es on tape volum es onl y . Famili es can only be specifi ed by associ ating the family with a fil eset. Al l files created in the fi leset be long to the family . When one of these fil es is migrated from disk to tape, it is re corded on a tape with ot her files in the sa m e famil y .
• Class of Service (COS) . Each bitfile has an at tribute called Class Of Service. The COS defines a set of parameters as sociated with operati onal and performance chara cterist ics of a bitfile . The COS results in the bi tfile being stored in a storage hie rarchy suit able for its anticipa ted and actual s ize and usage charact eristi cs.
consisti ng of direct ories, files, and links. These name space obj ects m ay exist within f ilesets that are connected via juncti ons. Second, t he Core Server pr ovides the abst raction of logical bitfil es to i ts clients . A bitfil e is identifi ed by a Core Server generated name called a bitfile ID.
The purpose of t ape file m igration is to make an additi onal copy (or multiple additional copies) of a file , in a ta pe storage cl ass, to a l ower level i n the hierar chy. It is also possible to move files downwards instead of copy ing them. In this case t here is no duplicate copy maintained.
• Physical V olum e Reposit ory (PVR) . PVRs manage HPSS cartridges. Though an HPSS sy ste m may contain multiple PVRs, each cartridge is managed by only one. PVRs provide APIs for clients to request cartridge mounts and dis m ounts and query the sta tus of cartridges.
2.3 .3 . HPS S Sto ra ge Su bsy st em s The goal of storage s ubsy stems (or just “subsystems”) is to increas e the scalabili ty of HPSS by allowing multiple Core Servers to be used within a single HPSS system. Every HPSS system is partiti oned int o one or more subs y stems.
HPSS Core Server performs most of the HPSS m etadat a changes using the trans action managem ent tools provided by DB2. For the most part , these m etadat a trans actions are managed entirel y within the Core Server.
HPSS. A delog functio n is pr ovided to extr act and f orm at log records fro m a central or archived log fi le. Delog opti ons support filter ing by time interval , record t y pe, se rver, and user.
GUI. The hpssgui simplifie s the m anagement of HPSS by organizing a broad range of technical data into a series of easy -to-read graphic displa y s. The hpssgui allows monitoring and control of virtuall y all HPSS pr ocesses and resources from windows that can easil y be added, delete d, moved, or overlapped as desired.
HPSS provides f acilitie s for rec ording infor m ation about a uthenticat ion and object (file/di recto ry ) creation, deleti on, access, and authoriz ation events. The se curity audit policy for each server deter m ines the records that each individua l server wil l generate.

3.2 .5 . Dup lic at e Fi le Po lic y The policy on duplicat ing user data fil es impacts the amount of data stored and the amount of dat a moved. If all user file s are dupl icated, the system will require twice as m uch tape storage. If users perform their own duplicat ion of files, the system may consum e a smaller amount of storage space.

Fibre Channe l. For t hese devices, operating system disk parti tions of the desi red size must be created (e.g., AIX logical volume or Linux/ Solaris /IRIX disk partition ), and the raw device name must be used when cr eating the Mover Device configurat ion (see Section 7.
Starting with HPSS 6.2 the re are many enhancements to the stor age system to take advantage of Storage Area Networks. Though sepa rated in Figure 4, in real ity there is usual ly only one SAN at an installa tion and all the resources are att ached t o it.

3.7 .1 . Cor e Ser ver The Core Server is responsible for managing the HPSS name space (files, directori es, li nks, etc.), bitfile s, and storage (physical volumes, virtual volumes, etc. ) for a si ngle subsystem. Each of these areas of responsibi lity are outlined in greater detail be low.
Figure 6. The Relationship of Various Server Data Structures Disk Storage Allocati on Each Core Server manages disk storage units for HPSS. It m aps each disk storage unit onto an HPSS disk Phy sic al Volume (PV) a nd records c onfiguration data for the PV.
The Core Server is designed to sca le up its ability to m anage t apes as the number of tapes increases. As long as suffic ient m emory and CPU capaci ty exist, threads ca n be added t o the server to increase its throughput . Additio nal subs y stems can also be a dded to a s y stem, increa sing concurre ncy even further.
metadata updates and can impose extra overhead on DB2. Also, unpredictab le purge behavior may be observed if the purge recor d ordering i s changed with e xisting purge recor ds in the sy ste m until thes e existing records are cleared. A purge run ends when either t he supply of purge records is exhausted or the purge t arget is reached.
Sites can choose to configure zero (0) or more Gatekeepers per HPSS system. Gatekee pers are associat ed with storage subsystems. Eac h storage subs y stem can have zero or one Gate keeper associat ed with it and each Gatekeeper can support one or more storage s ubsy stems.
requests from a particu lar host or user. T he Site Interfaces will be locat ed in a shared librar y that i s linked int o the Gatekeeper . It is important that the Site Interfa ces return a status in a timely fas hion.
PVL. It is possi ble for m ulti ple HPSS PVRs to manage a single robot . This is done if it is necessary to organize the tape dr ives in the robot into partitions . Each ta pe drive in the robot is assigned to exactl y one PVR. Addition ally, each cartridge is assigned to only one PVR.
3.7 .6 .3 . 349 4 P VR The 3494 PVR can manage an IBM 3494 tape robot att ached via Ethernet or SCSI. The PVR will create a process to receive asy nchr onous notifi cation s from the robot . At least one PVR should be create d for every robot managed by HPSS.
3.7 .7 . Mov er The Mover configuration is largel y dictated by the hardware configuration of the HPSS system. Each Mover can handl e both disk and tape devi ces and must run on the node to which the storage devices are atta ched.
Driver has a built-in confi guration t able for al l HPSS supported tape drives. This configurati on provides vari able block size for most HPSS supported drives. In order to override the built-in configurati on, device inf ormation can be supplied in the /dev/kernel /st.

3.7 .9 . St art up D aem on The Startup Daemon is responsible for start ing, monitoring, and stopping the HPSS servers. The Daemon responds onl y to requests from the SSM Sy stem Manage r. It shares respons ibilit y with each HPSS server for ensuring that only one copy of the server runs at a given time.

If PVs are grouped one at a time, so t hat their Stripe Width i s one, they are still defined as VVs. A number of addit ional parameters ar e defined in Storage Clas ses.
SSM provides the capabil ity to defi ne storage classes and to add and delete virtual volumes to and from the defi ned stora ge classes. A storage class is identif ied by a storage class ID and i ts associat ed attribut es. For detailed descriptio ns of e ach attribut e ass ociated with a storage class, see Section 6.
