This security level is normally assigned to an user who may have a need to monitorsome HPSS functions. This user can view a limited set of the SSM windows but cannotperform any of the SSM control functions.Refer to Appendix F: Additional SSM Information (page 525) for more information on setting up anSSM account and the list of SSM windows accessible to each SSM user type.Before bringing up the SSM session, ensure that the Sammi license key provided by Kinesix hasbeen properly set up. If it is not, refer to Section 4.5.3: Set Up Sammi License Key on page 213 forinstructions on setting up the Sammi license.In addition to the above, the SSM session may also need a Motif key bindings file to ensure thatcertain keyboard keys are defined in specific ways expected by Sammi. The key bindings file isnamed .motifbind and must be placed in the user's home directory on the host where the user willbe displaying the SSM windows. Refer to Section F.4: Customizing SSM and Sammi on page 528 formore information on how to set up the Motif key bindings file.The SSM user session start_ssm_session script as supplied with HPSS can be used to bring up anyconfigured SSM session. To start up an SSM user session, invoke the startup script, start_ssm_session, and enter the requested data when prompted. (The start_ssm_session script will not startan SSM session if that session is already up and running.) After a brief interval, the SSM Logonwindow (shown in Figure 6-2) will be displayed to allow the user to log on. Enter the valid DCEUser ID and Password before pressing the Enter key. After the user is authenticated by DCE, theHPSS Health and Status window will be displayed. From this window, the user can proceed toperform the HPSS configuration.Before starting up the SSM user session, ensure that the Sun RPC servers and the SSM serversare up and running.There is no limit on the number of SSM sessions that can be brought up at the same time. However,depending on the system workload, too many running SSM sessions may degrade the overallsystem performance.
