2.10.2.1 Global Configuration Metadata
Global Configuration File (globalconfig) - This file contains configuration data that is global to an
HPSS system. Since it only ever contains one small metadata record, it plays a negligible role in
determining metadata size.
2.10.2.2 Storage Subsystem Metadata
Storage Subsystem Configurations (storsubsysconfig) - Each storage subsystem defined in HPSS has
a record describing its default COS, associated Gatekeeper, and allowed COS ids. This file is small
and will only grow when new subsystems are added. Therefore it plays a negligible role in
determining metadata size.
2.10.2.3 Server Configuration Metadata
HPSS uses the following SFS server configuration metadata files (the default SFS file names are
shown in parentheses):
• General Server Configurations (serverconfig)
• BFS Configurations (bfs)
• DMAP Gateway Configurations (dmg)
• Gatekeeper Server Configurations (gkconfig)
• Log Client Configurations (logclient)
• Log Daemon Configurations (logdaemon)
