Description

 

 

fse_fsc

Navigates the File System Catalog (FSC) database.

 

This tool is available on consolidated FSE system and FSE server only.

 

 

dumprmdb.py

Dumps the Resource Management Database into the file

 

rmdb_dump_HostName_DateTime.txt in the current directory on the

 

consolidated FSE system or the FSE server.

 

This tool is available on consolidated FSE system and FSE server only.

 

 

Debugging FSE processes

There are two ways in which debugging of the FSE processes can be enabled:

•Configure the trace.cfg file by setting the values of the appropriate debugging variables (debugging options), and then restart the FSE processes. This way, debugging will be enabled for all subsequent FSE sessions.

Location of trace.cfg is platform dependent. Linux specific

On Linux platform, the file is located in the directory /etc/opt/fse. Windows specific

On Windows platform, the file is located in the directory %InstallPath%\etc.

•Run the fsesystem --enable-dbgcommand with the appropriate debugging options while FSE processes are running. This will enable debugging for the currently running session only. If FSE is restarted, the debugging mode will fall back to the settings specified in the trace.cfg file.

The following is the syntax of the fsesystem --enable-dbgcommand:

fsesystem --enable-dbg SysDbgLevel

[SysDbgFile [SysDbgFlags [SysDbgHSMFS]]]

Debugging and operation fine-tuning options

The following is a list of the debugging options that FSE supports. All debugging options can be specified in the trace.cfg file as well as at the command line for the fsesystem --enable-dbgcommand:

•HSM_DEBUG_LEVEL

•HSM_DEBUG_FILE

•HSM_DEBUG_FLAGS

•HSM_DEBUG_FS

•HSM_DEBUG_DISKBUF

The following is a list of the operation fine-tuning options that FSE supports. Some options can be specified in the trace.cfg file and the other can be specified as environment variables:

•HSM_USE MAM

•HSM_MEDIA_LOGGING

•HSM_CALL_TIMEOUT

•HSM_PT_DIRECT

•HSM_BEA_VERIFY_POSITION

•HSM_LA_SERIAL_UNLOAD

•HSM_FRI_SAFETYBUF_TAPE

•HSM_BEA_VERIFY_HEADER

•HSM_BEA_COMPRESSION

The following sections provide information on the meaning and usage of each debugging and operation fine-tuning option.

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.
