HP File System Extender (FSE) manual

2.10 NAME

ﬁle, copies the ﬁle to Conﬁguration Database and inserts the parameter val- ues into Resource Management Database. FSE partition names are unique within one FSE implementation. A new Partition Manager for this partition is started after the validation checks pass. Partition Manager is one of the conﬁguration–dependent FSE processes in the FSE implementation. It is responsible for managing the data ﬂow between HSM ﬁle system and FSE media in the FSE media pools that belong to this FSE partition.

•ConﬁgFileName

The name of the FSE partition conﬁguration ﬁle to use.

•–r ,– –remove

Remove an existing FSE partition from the FSE implementation. This in- cludes shutdown of Partition Manager for this partition and removal of:

–all conﬁguration ﬁle revisions of this FSE partition from Conﬁguration Database,

–FSC and HSMDB database ﬁles,

–media volume information from the RMDB.

Warning:

If the HSM ﬁles system of the removed FSE partition is located on an external FSE client, you must manually remove HSMDB after the par- tition conﬁguration removal. Remove the HSMDB ﬁles by deleting the following directory on the client: /var/opt/fse/part/<PartitionName> (on Linux systems), %InstallPath%\var\part\<PartitionName> (on Windows systems).

Note:

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

Warning:

Before using this option, FSE administrator must be familiar with con- cepts of the FSE operation and has to be well aware of the existing data loss risk due to improper usage of – –remove .

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.
