8.6 Creating File Families
Refer to Section 6.7.4: File Family Configuration (page 322) for more information on how to create
file families.
8.7 Creating Filesets and Junctions
SSM can be used to create XDSM/HPSS (which includes both DFS/HPSS and XFS/HPSS) and
HPSS-only filesets. SSM can also be used to create the junctions that link the filesets to the HPSS
name space.
Before creating XDSM/HPSS filesets, DFS must already be configured (if it is to be used), and
the procedures to set up the DFS and XFS filesets and file systems must already be performed.
Refer to Section 7.6: HDM Configuration on page 435 for more information.
Ensure that the Name Server and the DMAP Gateway are up and running before creating the
filesets and junctions. Also ensure that SSM is connected to both of the servers.
