Name Status, Reorg-scan | HP File System Extender (FSE) specs

2.10 NAME

•–t ,– –status

Show status of the FSE partition Name. See PARTITION STATUS IN- FORMATION for details on the status information that is displayed with this option.

•– –disable

Disable operation of FSE partition Name. Note that unless additional option

– –forceis speciﬁed, the command demands FSE administrator’s conﬁrma- tion before performing this operation. Default answer to the conﬁrmation question is "No".

•– –enable

Enable operation of FSE partition Name, which is currently disabled.

•– –reorg–scan

Scan FSE medium volumes on all media that belong to the FSE partition Name for obsolete data using the mandatory ExpirationDate and optional NumberOfGenerations parameter. The scan statistics are recorded in the corresponding File System Catalog, in order to be used by the reorganiza- tion job. Note that the scanning process may take a considerable amount of time. For more information on the media reorganization, refer to File System Extender User146s Guide.

•ExpirationDate

Treat all migrated ﬁle data generations that were created after Expiration- Date as important. You have to specify the ExpirationDate parameter in the form of "YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss" or "YYYY/MM/DD". In the lat- ter case, the time 00:00:00 is assumed. Note that if additional NumberOf- Generations parameter is speciﬁed, not all such generations may be pre- served by the reorganization process. This depends on the actual value of NumberOfGenerations.

•NumberOfGenerations

Treat at most NumberOfGenerations latest migrated ﬁle data generations as important. Specifying this parameter, you can reduce the number of gener- ations that would be preserved using the ExpirationDate parameter alone.
