Tests with the HPSS NFS Interface at Caltech
NFS server: the “itty” IBM HPSS machine in CACR
NFS client: the “cithe702” HP/UX machine in HEP
Tests with an Objectivity client on cithe702
- Mount the HPSS filesystem as /hpss on the HP
- Run an Objy application that accessed two databases on a local HP disk (small database of 0.5 MBytes each)
- Move the database files into the /hpss filesystem
- Run the application again: success ?
- Force the corresponding HPSS bitfiles to tape on the IBM
- Run the application again: failure with RPC timeout ?
- Insert a call to “ooRpcTimeout” in the application
- Force the HPSS bitfiles out to tape
- Run the application again: success ?
Tests with a large file on cithe702
- Move a large (? MBytes) file into the /hpss filesystem
- Data transfer rate ~330 kBytes/second ?
