NAME

hpss2dpss - copy a file at hpss to dpss.
dpss2hpss - copy a file at dpss to hpss.

SYNOPSIS

hpss2dpss [-d] [-v] x-hpss://hpss_host/[directory/]filename  x-dpss://dpss_host/[filename]
dpss2hpss [-d] [-v] x-dpss://dpss_host/filename|set_id  x-hpss://hpss_host/[directory/filename]

Two programs, one called 'hpss2dpss', which is the program that transfers files from the HPSS to the DPSS. The second program is called 'dpss2hpss', which transfers the data from the DPSS to the hpss. The arguments for these programs is fairly simple.

OPTIONS

There are two options, "-v" and for verbose or "-d" for debug.

-v

If you pass the verbose flag, you will see all the pftp commands echoed to standard out as the program runs.

-d

If pass in the debug flag, you will see as it starts up the remote daemon process, and what those nodes are doing.

If you are having trouble running either of the programs you should first run them in verbose mode, and then if that doesn't work, both verbose and debug mode. If you check the syslog files (whereever you have FACILITY LOCAL0, and LEVEL LOG_NOTICE going) you should see something like :

Oct  8 11:58:23 dpss3-pd.lbl.gov dp2hp_node[11201]: enviroment set:DPSSHOST=hpgw.lbl.gov
Oct  8 11:58:23 dpss3-pd.lbl.gov dp2hp_node[11201]: enviroment set:HOME=/usr/local/DPSS
Oct  8 11:58:23 dpss3-pd.lbl.gov dp2hp_node[11201]: we moved 65536 data

which is showing the DPSSHOST variable and the HOME variable that you set in the inetd program. Then it is showing how much data was moved. If your not seeing these messages, it is possible that your remote nodes are misconfigured.

In clipper.lbl.gov, we have hpss2dpss and dpss2hpss at /usrlocal/DPSS/bin. The PFTP_CONFIG_FILENAME should be set to "/usr/local/DPSS/.pftp.hosts" before running these program.

%setenv PFTP_CONFIG_FILENAME /usr/local/DPSS/.pftp.hosts

You should put .netrc at your home directory as explained at Configuration. You should change the read permissions of the .netrc file to be read only user, this can be accomplished by a "chmod 400 ~/.netrc".
