NOTE: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9) systems only: Do not run YaST2 after you have configured

this FSE host to use a private network for the FSE interprocess communication. Running YaST2 modifies /etc/hosts in such a way that subsequent FSE system startups will fail.

Alternatively, you can modify /etc/sysconfig/suseconfig by changing the line

CHECK_ETC_HOSTS="yes" to CHECK_ETC_HOSTS="no". You can then run YaST2 without affecting the FSE system operation, but you cannot modify host names with it.

After installing the required FSE packages and performing the environment preparation tasks, you need to start the FSE daemons manually for the first time. Note that the installation process modifies the startup scripts so that the FSE processes are started automatically after each restart of the system.

The startup procedure depends on the particular FSE implementation configuration:

•Starting the FSE processes in a consolidated FSE implementation, page 43

•Starting FSE processes in a distributed or mixed FSE implementation, page 44

Starting the FSE processes in a consolidated FSE implementation

In a consolidated FSE implementation that consists only of an FSE server and FSE client on the same system, proceed as follows:

1.Start the CORBA Naming Service daemon and the FSE processes by entering:

#fse --start

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.
