Description
The unique ID associated with the
Accounting Policy.
Advice: This number is always 1 for this version of HPSS since only one
accounting policy is currently allowed.
Style of accounting that is used by the
entire HPSS system.
Advice: This field must be set up properly before any files are written to the
system. UNIX-style accounting obtains account number from the user's UID.
Site-style accounting allows the account to be set specifically. Once the
accounting policy is configured, this value cannot be changed.
Note: Please refer to Section 2.8.3: Accounting Policy and Validation on page 85
for more information.
The integral units to be displayed in the
report file.
The number of seconds between status
messages sent to SSM by the Accounting
utility during an accounting run.
Advice: Set the interval to zero (0) if no accounting status messages are desired.
Otherwise, for performance reasons, this value should be set to at least 15 seconds
The UNIX path name of the accounting
utility executable.
Advice: SSM should have execute privileges for the pathname.
The UNIX pathname where the generated
accounting report will be stored.
Advice: SSM should have write access for the pathname.
A UNIX pathname of an optional
commentary text file.
Advice: This pathname is optional. If it exists, SSM must have read access to it.
The Encina SFS filename of the
Accounting Snapshot metadata.
