Cha pte r 2. HPSS Bas ics 2.1 . In tr odu ct ion The High Performance Storage Sy st em (HPSS) provides hierarchic al stora ge m a nagement 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 sele ctable securit y service (Ker beros or UNIX), UN I X or LDAP for user configuration information, and DB2 as the basis for it s portable , distribu ted, t ransaction-base d architec ture. These components are of[...]

2.3 . HPS S Com pon ent s The com pone nts of HPSS include files, f ilesets, juncti ons, virtual volumes, phy sica l volumes, stor age segments, metadata, servers, inf rastructur e, user interface s, a management interfa ce, and policies. Media and file m e tadata are represe nted by data structures that describe the attri butes and characte risti [...]

HPS S Fi les, File se ts , Vo lum es, Sto ra ge Se gme nt s and Re lat ed Me tada ta The various metadata constructs used to descr ibe t he HPSS namespace and HPSS storage are describe d below: • Files (Bitf ile s) .

recorded on these t apes. HPSS support s grouping fil es on tape volum es only. Families can only be specifi ed by associ ating the family with a fil eset. All files created in the fi leset belong to the family . When one of these files is m i grated fr om disk to tape, i t is rec orded on a t ape with ot her files in the s am e family . If no tape[...]

• 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 bitfil e. The COS results in the bi tfile being stored in a storage hie rarchy sui table f or its anticipa ted and actual s ize and usage charac teristi cs. Fig[...]

Cl ients may reference portions of a bi[...]

The purpose of t ape file m igr ation is to make an additiona l copy (or multipl e additi onal copies) of a file , in a t ape storage cl ass, to a lower level i n the hierar chy . It is also possi ble to move files downwards instead of copy i ng them. In this case there is no dupli cate cop y maintained. There is no separat e purge component to tap[...]

• Physical V ol um e Repository (PVR) . PVRs manage HPSS cartr idges. Though an HPSS sy s tem may contain m ul tiple PVRs, each cartridge is m anaged by only one. PVRs provide APIs for clients to request cartridge mounts and dis m ount s and quer y the status of cartri dges. For convenience, PVRs are often conf igured in one-to-one correspo ndenc[...]

2.3 .3 . HPS S Sto ra ge Su bsy st em s The goal of storage s ubsy st ems (or j ust “subsy st ems”) is to increas e the scalabili ty of HPSS by allowing multipl e Core Servers to be used within a single HPSS system. Every HPSS sy ste m is partiti oned int o one or m ore subsystems. Each subsy s tem contai ns a singl e Core Server. If migration [...]

HPSS Core Server performs most of the HPSS m et adata changes using the transacti on managem ent tools provided by DB2. For t he m ost pa rt, these metadata t ransaction s are managed entirel y within the Core Server. Other servers suc h as MPS and PVL m odif y their metadata transactiona lly, and thos e transac tions are entirel y containe d withi[...]

HPSS. A delog functio n is pr ovided to extr act and f orm at log records from a central or archived log file. Delog opti ons support filter ing by time interval , record t y pe, server, and user. • Accounting . The HPSS accounti ng sy s tem provides the means to collect usage information in order t o allow a particular site to charge its users f[...]

GUI. The hpssgui simplifie s the m a nagem e nt of HPSS by organizing a broad range of technical data into a series of easy - to-read graphic di splays. The hpssgui all ows monitoring and cont rol of virtually all HPSS processes and resources from windows that can easil y be added, delet ed, moved, or overlapped as desired. HPSS also pr ovides a co[...]

HPSS provides faciliti es for rec ording infor m a tion about authenti cation and object (file/ directo ry ) cr eation, deletion, access, and authorization events.
