14.3.3.4. Client API – Pre-Requisite
VFS is dependent upon the HPSS Client API being installed, and configured, first. It is recommended
that the HPSS Client API be installed/configured, then tested using an API based tool/program like
‘scrub’, example code (as supplied by the deployment/support team), or other HPSS Client API based
applications before attempting to install/use VFS itself. Verifying that the HPSS Client API is working
correctly will eliminate it as a possible problem if VFS troubleshooting becomes necessary.
Create the following directories on the VFS machine:
% mkdir /var/hpss/etc
