Setting permissions for repository access
To increase security, restrict write permission for some folders in the SSTK repository. This also
guarantees the integrity of files that must have read-only permission. The repository structure
allows users to have read-write permissions for the
data_files
folder only. Set all other folders
to read-only permission.
Table 5-1
indicates the appropriate permissions for each SSTK repository
folder.

Checking the CLM mode
On mid-range and high end systems, the available system memory can be accessed using the
following methods:
Interleaved memory
The average memory latency is constant for all processes in
the system.
Non-interleaved memory
Also called cell local memory (CLM) or global non-interleaved
(GNI) memory. This provides lower memory latency for
processes running in the same cell as the memory. Microsoft
Windows has better performance when the memory is
configured with maximum CLM.
During a
deploy
action, SSTK checks if the memory is correctly configured using the
hpchkclm
utility. If the configuration is not optimal, the utility writes the following message to the SSTK
log file:
"This system is NOT properly configured for Cell-Local Memory
mode. In order to obtain optimal system performance it is
recommended that you reconfigure the server."
