HP File System Extender (FSE) instruction

a.To stop the HSM Health Monitor daemon on the local system, run the following command:

#hhm stop

b.To stop the Log Analyzer daemons on the local system, run the following commands:

#/etc/init.d/loganalyzer stop

#/etc/init.d/loganalyzer_messages stop

7.On the consolidated FSE system or FSE server, shut down the currently running FSE processes using the fse --stopcommand. The shut-down progress is shown in the command output:

Consolidated FSE system

fse --stop
Unmounting HSM File Systems:	[	OK	]
Stopping HSM FS Event Manager:	[	OK	]
Unloading HSMFS Filter module:	[	OK	]
Stopping FSE Management Interface:	[	OK	]
Stopping FSE Resource Manager:	[	OK	]
Stopping FSE Service:	[	OK	]

FSE server

fse --stop
Stopping FSE Management Interface:		[	OK	]
Stopping	FSE Resource Manager:	[	OK	]
Stopping	FSE Service:	[	OK	]

8.Stop the omniNames daemon.

Invoke the following command and verify that its actual output matches the output shown below:

omninames --stop
Stopping omniORB	Naming Service:	[ OK ]

9.Similarly as with the external FSE clients (step 5), verify that all FSE processes have been terminated.

10.Prevent automatic start of omniNames, the FSE processes, and guisrv (the FSE Management Console server process) by using the chkconfig command.

Upgrading the operating system on Linux hosts

On each Linux host that is part of the FSE implementation, upgrade the operating system to the required version.

Depending on the type of a particular FSE host that you are upgrading, you may need to perform additional steps before starting the operating system upgrade and after the operating system upgrade is complete. These steps are required because of a changed format of the FileSystemID parameter in the FSE partition configuration files.

Follow the procedure:

1.If you are upgrading a consolidated FSE system or an external FSE client, gather information about the local HSM file systems. Invoke the following command and store its report:

#lvscan -b

The command displays a report similar to the following:

lvscan -- ACTIVE			"/dev/vg_fse01/hsmfs01" [8.70		GB] 58:0
lvscan -- ACTIVE			"/dev/vg_fse02/hsmfs02" [7.81		GB] 58:4
lvscan	--	ACTIVE	"/dev/vg_fse02/hsmfs03"	[5.86	GB]	58:5
lvscan	--	ACTIVE	"/dev/vg_fse02/hsmfs04"	[3.43	GB]	58:6

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.
