System Manager
The Storage System Management (SSM) server. It communicates with all other
HPSS components requiring monitoring or control. It also communicates with
the SSM graphical user interface (hpssgui) and command line interface
(hpssadm).

trace
A log record message type used to record entry/exit processing paths through
HPSS server software.
transaction
A programming construct that enables multiple data operations to possess the
following properties:
All operations commit or abort/roll-back together such that they form a single
unit of work.
All data modified as part of the same transaction are guaranteed to maintain a
consistent state whether the transaction is aborted or committed.
Data modified from one transaction are isolated from other transactions until the
transaction is either committed or aborted.
Once the transaction commits, all changes to data are guaranteed to be
permanent.

media. A virtual volume is made up of a group of physical storage media (a
stripe group of physical volumes).
virtual volume block size
The size of the block of data bytes that is written to each physical volume of a
striped virtual volume before switching to the next physical volume.
