IBM High Performance Storage System HPSS Installation Manual page 22

The SSM client scripts now use an internal polling mechanism for
getting window updates (as opposed to being notified of the update
by the server). This means that:
The SSM client application no longer requires a second
•
port for two-way communication,
The rate of polling can be fine-tuned by the user (see
•
the -A, -G, -L -M, -W options).
The scripts are dependent upon a login.conf file and, if using
Kerberos authentication, a krb5.conf file. Both files are created by
hpssuser. The scripts will look in the current working directory for
these files unless they are specified on the command line (-C and -
k options).
It is no longer necessary to add a security provider entry to the java
system java.security file.
The pathname to the java executable can be specified by using the
-j option. If this option isn't specified, then the script will use the
java executable in $JAVA_BIN if it is valid. If $JAVA_BIN/java
is not defined, then the script will use 'java' which will use the
client's $PATH.
Effective with HPSS 5.1.1, the hpssgui script supports customizing
the user's background color or Look & Feel using the -b, -F and -T
options.
The SSM user can specify the number of alarms to display on the
alarm list using the -N option.
The SSM user can specify the pathname to the hpss.jar using the -P
option.
The SSM user can specify the path to search for application
preferences using the -i option. This path is now local to the SSM
client machine; preferences are no longer stored on the SSM server
machine.
Sites that are converting from a previous release of HPSS should replace
all their hpssgui and hpssadm startup scripts on all client platforms with
the new versions.
In HPSS 6.2, ssh tunneling communications between the SSM client and
server is supported.
The SSM clients can contact the System Manager across a Virtual Private
Network connection (VPN). See the -p and -h options on the hpssgui and
hpssadm man pages.
