Additional Hpssadm Operations; Additional Library And Device Support; San Virtual Volume Id Mapping - IBM High Performance Storage System HPSS Installation Manual

Storage Class (but not subsystem-specific storage class options)
•
Global configuration
•
Accounting policy
•
Location policy
•
All server configuration. Newly supported options include Core Server, Gatekeeper, Location
•

Modifying devices and drives. This is the equivalent functionality of modifying fields on the

1.1.9. Additional hpssadm operations

Import/export
•
Create/delete resources
•
Task monitoring. A new "task" command displays the status of any long running background
•
tasks submitted during the session, such as imports or resource creates.
Specifying volumes from a file for import/export/delete/move. hpssadm, like the GUI, now
•
allows the user to submit a file listing the target volumes for import, export, delete resources,
and cartridge move operations. This is an alternative to the previous capability of building the
list on the screen with the Fill Count, Fill Increment, and Volume Label fields, which is still
provided. As a result of adding this capability, the group labels on the structures have
changed so scripts which use the old method to specify the volume list will need a slight
modification. See the hpssadm man page for examples.

1.1.10. Additional Library and Device Support

Spectra Logic library
•
ADIC Scalar i500 library
•
IBM and HP LTO Generation 3 and 4 drives. Tape encryption has not been certified with
