IBM High Performance Storage System HPSS Installation Manual page 23

The SSM client scripts can use ports exempted by the network
administrator as firewall exceptions. See the -n option on the
hpssadm/hpssgui man pages.
The port on which the System Manager will listen may be controlled by
setting the $HPSS_SSM_SERVER_LISTEN_PORT environment variable.
The default setting is 0 (zero) which means that the port will be chosen by
the RPC portmapper. See Section 3.3.6: Using SSM Through a Firewall,
of the HPSS Management Guide.
Access to port 88 is needed for Kerberos authentication. Access to port
111 is needed if the RPC portmapper is needed to find the System
Manager.
The user_authorization.dat and hpssadm.config files provided in HPSS 4.5
are no longer available.
In 6.2, all authorized SSM users and their privilege levels are defined in
the DB2 user acl AUTHZACL table. See Section 3.3.2.1: hpssuser Utility
and Section 3.3.2.2: SSM User Authorization in the HPSS Management
Guide for details.
The hpssgui and hpssadm programs will now optionally record every error
and informational message in an ASCII log file. The "-S" option for both
programs is used to specify whether to create the session log and what to
name it.
The basic and specific server config structures, along with the server's log
policy, have been combined in 5.1 into a single structure.
SSM now represents the three basic Core Server volume structures, the
physical volume, virtual volume, and storage map, as a single combined
Core Server volume structure.
The delog utility is no longer available via the SSM GUI. This feature has
been retired.
The ability to broadcast messages to other SSM GUI users is not yet
available.
Alarms and events are no longer acknowledged from the SSM GUI.
The SSM clients can specify the number of items to display for the Alarms
and Events list. See the -N option on the hpssadm/hpssgui man page and
Section 9.6: Managing SSM Alarms and Events in the HPSS Management
Guide.
The SSM clients keep an internal cached copy of the Alarms and Events
list which is maintained by regular polling requests to the System
Manager. Each polling request returns only "new" messages, those which
have not already been retrieved by the SSM client in a previous polling
request. If there are no new messages in the System Manager log cache,
no messages are returned. This will help performance of the display of
this window. See the -A, -G and -N options of the hpssadm/hpssgui man
pages and Section 9.6.5: Controlling SSM Log Message handling in the
HPSS Management Guide.
