• Free Tape Bytes. This is an estimate based on the sum of the estimated sizes of the partially
written and unwritten tape volumes. It is not, and cannot be, an accurate value as the amount of
data that can be written on tapes varies with individual tape volumes and data compression levels.
Options:
• Can change UID to self if has Control Perm. If this flag is ON, any user having Control
permission to an object can change the UID of that object to their own (but not any other) UID.
This field can be changed only from the Global Configuration window. It is displayed here for
informational purposes only.
• Can change UID if has Delete Perm on Security ACL. If this flag is ON, any principal found on
the Core Server Security ACL having Delete (and only Delete) permission may change the UID of
an object they own to any other UID. This field can be changed only from the Global
Configuration window. It is displayed here for informational purposes only.
• Object names can contain unprintable characters. If this flag is ON, no check will be made to
ensure that new object and fileset names contain only printable characters. If this flag is OFF, new
object and fileset names must be composed of only printable characters and if any unprintable
characters are detected in these new names, an error will be returned. Printable characters are
defined as all characters in the range from 0x20 to 0x7e (inclusive) in the 7 bit ASCII character set.
This field can be changed only from the Global Configuration window. It is displayed here for
informational purposes only.
• COS Copy to Disk. If ON, all copy operations associated with COS changes should be directed to
disk if the hierarchy of the target COS has a level 0 disk storage class. This flag may be changed
only from the Specific tab of the Core Server Configuration window. It is displayed here for
informational purposes only.
• Account Flag Switch. If this flag is ON, it indicates to use the second accounting bit in the bitfile
metadata table to indicate that the bitfile has valid accounting metadata. If the flag is OFF, it
indicates to use the first bit. The default is OFF. This flag setting is changeable only via special
procedures. It is provided to allow a site to recover or rebuild its accounting metadata if this
becomes necessary. Special procedures are required for this. Contact the HPSS support staff to do
this.
