About this book
The HPSS Installation Guide is for use both at system installation time as well as throughout the
lifetime of the system. It will guide system administrators through the planning and installation of a
new HPSS system. It also guides system administrators through the conversion process to upgrade
existing HPSS systems to Release 6.2. It serves as a reference whenever the system is reconfigured
by the addition, deletion, or modification of hosts, tape libraries, devices, or other components.
Chapter 1 discusses HPSS changes for Release 6.2.
Chapter 2 gives an overview of HPSS technology.
Chapters 3-5 guide administrators of new HPSS systems through planning, system
preparation, HPSS software installation, and configuration of the HPSS infrastructure.
Chapter 6 guides administrators of existing 4.5 or 5.1 HPSS systems through the conversion
process, bringing those systems up to Release 6.2.
