Release 11.1.0 DETAILS AND FEATURES
New HPSS object-store storage class
An S3 object-store storage class can now be configured as an HPSS storage hierarchy tier, allowing for low-cost data copies to be stored in a secondary object-store (such as AWS or a remote HPSS via HPSS S3 Proxy).
New HPSS S3 Proxy Glacier support
HPSS S3 Proxy now supports AWS Glacier behavior and restore API.
New HPSS limits tool
The hpsslimits tool returns current HPSS limits for monitoring purposes.
New purge by largest file first option
HPSS now provides a capability to purge files sorted by largest file first. All purge candidates are still subject to the purge policy.
New multi-threaded recursion tool to crawl a directory tree
The hpss_recurse tool traverses an HPSS directory in a multi-threaded manner, and runs a callback with callback-specific parameters on each file and directory in the directory tree. Sample callback for chowns/chmods provided.
Allow automatic, policy-based selection of tapes
Prior to this feature, the order in which tapes were selected was defined by their creation order. Admins can now use scripts to prioritize use of tapes according to a weighting criteria, or to explicitly customize the order of tape selection.
HPSSFS-FUSE is now included in the HPSS Baseline
HPSSFS-FUSE now installs with the HPSS Baseline – fewer downloads and simplifies management.
