PartitionName, FileID | HP File System Extender (FSE) instruction

2.6 NAME

Use the PartitionName FileID... argument combination for ﬁle identiﬁca- tion instead of the FileName... argument. This option may only be used together with the – –historyor – – recall option.

•PartitionName

Name of the FSE partition with ﬁles that are being managed or migration job is triggered on.

•FileID...

A sequence of ﬁle IDs for ﬁles the particular operation is executed on. File IDs have to be separated by spaces. All ﬁles must be located on the same HSM ﬁle system. File ID is a positive decimal integer number. The ﬁle ID of a particular ﬁle may be obtained by with – –listcommand or by search- ing in HSM ﬁle system log ﬁle for the corresponding ﬁle name. The HSM ﬁle system log ﬁle is named hsmfs_∗.log and located in the /var/opt/fse/log (on Linux systems) or %InstallPath%\var\log directory (on Windows sys- tems).

Note:

If a certain ﬁle is located on HSM ﬁle system other than the HSM ﬁle system of the ﬁrst speciﬁed ﬁle, a warning is printed and the ﬁle is not processed.

•–R ,– –recall

Recall a migrated generation of a ﬁle that is currently present on an HSM ﬁle system or was present at some moment in the past. A generation may be recalled:

–in place to the corresponding HSM ﬁle system (this is allowed only if the latest generation is speciﬁed);

–into an arbitrary directory on a non–HSM ﬁle system (this is allowed for any generation).

Recall is done separately for each ﬁle speciﬁed either by the FileName...

argument or by the – –idPartitionName FileID... argument combination; each ﬁle triggers its own recall job. Independently of the ﬁle speciﬁcation method used, a particular older migrated generation can be speciﬁed using either the – –dateDate or the – –migidMigID argument combination.

File System Extender (FSE) specifications

HP File System Extender (FSE) is a sophisticated solution designed to optimize data storage management for enterprises that deal with large volumes of unstructured data. This technology addresses the challenges of data growth and the need for effective data retention strategies, enabling organizations to store and manage their information more efficiently.

One of the main features of HP FSE is its ability to intelligently migrate data between primary and secondary storage. By utilizing policies that determine when to move infrequently accessed files to lower-cost storage environments, FSE helps reduce the strain on primary storage systems and saves on costs associated with high-performance storage solutions. This tiered approach to data management ensures that organizations can access the data they need quickly while still maintaining an efficient overall storage architecture.

Another notable characteristic of HP FSE is its seamless integration with existing storage infrastructures. The solution works with a variety of storage systems, allowing organizations to utilize their current investments without the need for significant changes to their infrastructure. This interoperability is powered by advanced technologies that facilitate data migration and retrieval, ensuring a smooth transition for organizations looking to optimize their storage strategies.

Additionally, HP FSE is equipped with robust reporting and analytics capabilities. This functionality provides organizations with insights into their storage usage, helping them understand data patterns and optimize their storage environments accordingly. By having visibility into which files are accessed most frequently and which are rarely used, organizations can make informed decisions on data retention policies and storage management.

Security is paramount in data management, and HP FSE addresses this concern by implementing advanced data protection features. This includes data encryption, secure access controls, and compliance with industry regulations, ensuring that sensitive information is safeguarded throughout its lifecycle.

Overall, HP File System Extender is a comprehensive data storage solution that combines intelligent data management, seamless integration, insightful analytics, and robust security features. By leveraging these capabilities, organizations can efficiently manage their unstructured data, lower costs, and enhance operational efficiency, making it an invaluable tool in today’s data-driven landscape.
