RISS – Purpose and Tools
The
HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System
(RISS) comprises
hosts
(hardware components and their operating systems) and
services
(software application processes) that together provide the following main
functions:
•
Automatic, active
data archiving
(email and specific types of documents)
in a secure, fault-tolerant manner that can help customers meet their
regulatory requirements
•
Interactive
data querying
to search for and retrieve archived data
according to various criteria. Access to archived data is controlled: query
users can retrieve data only from the
repositories
to which they have
access.
The kinds of data that can be archived and queried depend on how RISS
(called the “system” throughout this guide) is configured. At a minimum,
email messages are supported on all systems. References to messages in PCC
views, and in this guide, include documents when the system supports the
archiving of documents.
In addition to these principal functions, RISS provides the following trouble-
shooting and administrative tools:
•
The
Persist Control Center
(
PCC
), used to monitor and troubleshoot
system status and performance.
•
The
Persist Account Manager
(
PAM
), used to manage user accounts.
