2.4 NAME

fsecheck – Perform a File System Catalog consistency check against the HSM file system or FSE media.

2.4.1SYNOPSIS

fsecheck {–i –fsc–hsmfs } PartitionName

fsecheck {–m –fsc–media } [–autocorrect [–match–media ]] Partition- Name

fsecheck {–h –help } fsecheck {–v –version }

2.4.2DESCRIPTION

Each FSE command communicates with the FSE system components through the Management Interface (fse–mif). To execute an FSE command, the Management Interface must be running. If the connection to the Management Interface fails, check its status by running the fse status command. In case the Management Interface is not running, start it with the fse start command.

After a successful command execution fsecheck notifies the FSE administrator with a suitable message, which is printed to the standard output stream (stdout). If there was an error during the command execution, an appropriate error message is printed to the standard error stream (stderr).

CHECKING CONSISTENCY OF THE FILE SYSTEM CATALOG

fsecheck command creates a maintenance job on the specified FSE partition. The maintenance job is executed by the corresponding Partition Manager and performs a File System Catalog consistency check. This is a process of com- paring file entries, which are present in File System Catalog, either with files on the corresponding HSM file system or with Fast Recovery Information (FRI) on the corresponding FSE media. It detects the situations, where:

some files on the HSM file system or on the FSE media are missing from File System Catalog,

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.
