told about their counterparts at the remote sites. Each record in the Remote Site file tells the local
Location Servers howtocontact the Location Serversat that particular remote site. All ofthe fields
can be obtained by looking at the Local HPSS Site Identification information on the remote HPSS
system's Location Policy screen.
