• dumppv_pvr - List the physical volumes managed by a particular PVR.
• lshpss - Lists various views of the system configuration.
• lsrb - Lists a list of bitfiles that have not been accessed since a given date/time.
• mps_reporter - Produces human-readable output from MPS summary files.
• plu - Lists files that have a purge record in HPSS metadata. Can be used to see which bitfiles have
been purge-locked (e.g., bitfiles that cannot be purged).
• lscos - Lists all bitfile COS change records by subsystem. It also allows an administrator to cancel
all COS change requests for a particular subsystem.
• device_scan – Lists information all SCSI-attached devices including media-changers, disks, tape.
• scsi_home – Displays SCSI home locations and allows SCSI home location modification.
16.1.4. System Management
• hpssadm - Allows administrators to perform some administration of HPSS without the graphical
user interface. Not all SSM functionality is available. In particular, the program does not support
all configuration operations. But it enables the administrator to manage HPSS servers, devices,
storage classes, PVL jobs, and volumes, and to display alarms and events. It may be run
interactively or in batch mode.
• hpssgui – Starts the Graphical User Interface program which is the primary administrative
interface for HPSS.
• hacl - Allows viewing and editing of HPSS access control lists (ACLs).
• hpss_delog - Extracts messages from the central HPSS log and displays them in human-readable
form.
• hpssuser - Adds, manages, and removes HPSS users.
• rtmu - (Real-Time Monitoring Utility) Displays the state of requests in the HPSS system.
• hpss_avaledit - Allows HPSS administrators at sites using Site-style accounting and Account
Validation to edit the relationships between user ids, account ids, and account names.
• hpss_server_acl - Updates authorization data in the database.
• hpss_krb5_keytab - Generates a keytab in the form usable by the hpssadm program.
• hpss_krb5_rmxcred – Removes expired cached Kerberos credentials from the default credential
directory.
• hpss_unix_group – Manages HPSS UNIX group file.
• hpss_unix_keygen - Create an HPSS UNIX master key.
• hpss_unix_keytab – A keytab generation program for the HPSS UNIX native security service.
• hpss_unix_passwd – Changes the HPSS UNIX native security service password for an HPSS
user.
