Chapter 3
This section will cover the steps that must be taken to appropriately prepare your system for
installation and configuration of HPSS and its infrastructure.
3.1 General
•
Each HPSS administrator should request a login id and password to the IBM HPSS web site
at http://www4.clearlake.ibm.com/hpss/support.jsp.
•
Download a copy of the HPSS Installation and Management Guides for the version of
HPSS being installed. It will be useful to print a copy and keep it handy while deploying
HPSS.
•
Install, configure, and verify the correct prerequisite operating system version on all HPSS,
DCE server, and SFS nodes.
To verify the current operating system level on AIX:
% oslevel
To verify the current operating system level on non-AIX platforms:
% uname -a
•
Create appropriate HPSS Unix user accounts. The hpss user ID and hpss group ID should
be created at this time.
•
Install the prerequisite software for DCE, Encina, Sammi, C compiler, Java, Perl, ssh, and
any other specific software that will be used by HPSS. Verify the correct patch levels are/
will be installed. Refer to Section 2.3: Prerequisite Software Considerations on page 46 for
additional information.
•
Configure the PERL prerequisite software on any HPSS node and, if planning to interface
with DFS, on any node that may be used for compiling the HPSS HDM server.
•
Configure the SSH prerequisite software on the core HPSS server node (at a minimum) and
configure SSH to accept connections from IBM Houston. Include the Houston subnet IP
address 192.94.47 into the firewall routing rules of the site, as necessary.
