HP File System Extender (FSE) POST-START and PRE-STOP Scripts, FSE administrator can set up two

2.1 NAME	6
POST–START AND PRE–STOP SCRIPTS	FSE administrator can set up two

helper scripts which perform arbitrary automated tasks at the FSE implementation (FSE server, FSE client) startup and shut–down time. They are executed by the fse command.

Both helper scripts have to be placed in the /opt/fse/sbin (on Linux systems) or %InstallPath%\bin directory (on Windows systems) on a local machine, and have to be named as specified below:

•post_start.sh (on Linux systems) or post_start.cmd (on Windows systems)

... this is the post–start helper script. It is executed after all FSE processes have been started up and all existing HSM file systems with an entry in the /etc/fstab file (on Linux systems) or all existing HSM file systems with a defined mount point (on Windows systems) have been mounted, i.e. right after the FSE implementation is put into its fully operational state;

•pre_stop.sh (on Linux systems) or pre_stop.cmd (on Windows systems) .....

this is the pre–stop helper script. It is executed before all mounted HSM file systems are unmounted and all running FSE processes are shut down, i.e. right before the FSE implementation is pulled out of its fully operational state.

If any of these scripts does not exist, it is simply ignored.

IMPORTANT: The commands that you specify in the post–start and pre–stop scripts should not block the execution of the fse command. Thus, they have to conform to the following rules:

•They must not require interactive input.

•They must finish in a reasonable time and afterwards return the control to the script afterwards.

VOLUME STATES ON WINDOWS SYSTEMS On Windows systems, the fse – –list–volumes [– –detail ] command enumerates volumes on the local system and reports their states from the FSE viewpoint. Possible values of the reported parameter Status and their explanations are:
