Appendix D
Adding an HDD Test Server to the BFS

Overview

The following steps summarize the tasks required to set up the BFS to support the
HDD test. Experienced users may prefer to follow this summary.
Users who require step-by-step instructions should go to Adding an HDD Test
Server to the BFS (on page 150).
Important Note for Multiple-Site (RCS-Enabled) Systems: Manually setting up any
BFS server or source must be done for the "AllSites" site only and not for any other
individual sites in your system. Otherwise, the server and source will fail.
1 Add a server with the following characteristics to the Servers tab of the BFS
Administration window.

Server Name: hddtest
Important: This field requires a specific entry. You must enter hddtest in
lowercase letters in this field. Otherwise, set-tops will not receive the
testparam.cfg file.

Selected Sources: Out of Band
Important: Multi-site (RCS-enabled) systems must add the server to only the
Site AllSites Administration window. Adding a server to the BFS
Administration window of individual sites and to the Site AllSites
Administration window causes the server to fail.
Note: To define these characteristics, display the Authorize BFS Server window
by following the quick path for your system configuration:

Single-site systems: DNCS Administrative Console > Application Interface
Modules tab > BFS Admin > Servers tab > File > New

Multi-site systems: DNCS Administrative Console > Application Interface
Modules tab > BFS Admin > File > All Sites > Servers tab > File > New
