6.7 HPSS Storage Characteristics Configuration
Before an HPSS system can be used, storage classes, storage hierarchies, and classes of service must
be created. Before configuring them, the planning guidelines described in Section 2.9 should be
carefully considered.
6.7.1
Configure the Storage Classes
Storage class information must be created for each storage class that is to be supported by the HPSS
system. A storage class can be created using the HPSS Storage Classes window. After the
configuration entry is created, it can be viewed, updated, or deleted through the same window.
From the HPSS Health and Status window (shown in Figure 6-1), click on the Admin menu, select
the Configure HPSS option and click on the Storage Classes option, which will open the HPSS
Storage Classes window. Next click on the New Storage Class... button for a new window. The
HPSS Storage Class window will appear. To create a new storage class, click on the New Storage
Class button.
The Storage Class Configuration window will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-14. The fields are
displayed with default values for a new disk storage class. If a tape storage class is desired, click on
the Tape button to display the default tape storage class (Figure 6-15) before modifying any other
fields. If the default data is not desired, change the fields with the desired values. Click on the Add
button to create the configuration entry.
To update an existing storage class, select the Load Existing button on the Storage Class
Configuration window and select the desired storage class from the popup list. The window will
be refreshed with the data from the selected storage class. After modifying the data, click on the
Update button to write the changes to the SFS file. Refer to Section 3.11.1: Changing Storage Class
Definition (page 79) in the HPSS Management Guide for more guidelines on changing a storage class
configuration.
To delete an existing storage class, select the Load Existing button on the Storage Class
Configuration window and select the desired storage class from the popup list. The window will
be refreshed with the configured data. Click on the Delete button to delete the storage class. Refer
to Section 3.12.1: Deleting Storage Class Definition (page 81) in the HPSS Management Guide for more
guidelines on deleting a storage class configuration.
