global configuration (backup, trace and CORBA/omniORB configuration files). Offline files on HSM file system are backed up as sparse files. These files practi- cally do not occupy any space on backup medium.

FSE backup usually runs in background, started automatically by cron or similar utilities. A special lock file backup.pid is used to prevent starting multiple backup processes in parallel.

ACTIVITY LOGGING FSE administrator usually consults the fse.log file to figure out backup start and stop times. These times are used to estimate the re- quired backup window. Additionally, fsebackup records its progress report to the backup.log file (see section FILES). When backup successfully finishes, it reports barcodes of the FSE backup media the backup data had been written to.

CONFIGURATION On Linux, administrator needs to configure some parame- ters in backup.cfg configuration file. The configurable parameters and their default values are the following:

HSM_LV_VAR = hsm_vg/var

Name of the LVM volume group and the LVM logical volume used to store file system for the /var/opt/fse mount point.

HSM_LV_PART = hsm_vg/part

Name of the LVM volume group and the LVM logical volume used to store file system for the /var/opt/fse/part mount point.

SNAPSHOT_PCT = 10

Size of the LVM logical volume snapshot, expressed in percentage of the original LVM logical volume size.

If the /etc/opt/fse/backup.cfg file is not found, default values are used for the FSE backup process.

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.
