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 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."
