2.9 NAME

Note:

A full FSE medium volume is not used for writing any more. Mark- ing an FSE medium volume as full is useful in situations, when, due to problems with certain medium volume, status of a whole FSE medium is set to unreliable. The medium remains unused although other medium volumes are error–free. In such cases the unreliable medium volume is marked as full and its medium as good to make other medium volumes available to the FSE system again.

–recreate–fri

Recreate missing Fast Recovery Information on disk from the migrated metadata on specified FSE medium or FSE medium volume. For all medium volumes which are closed, the recreated Fast Recovery Informa- tion is also copied to the end part of these volumes.

Note:

Fast Recovery Information on disk speeds up the eventual File System Catalog recovery.

–duplicate

Duplicate a source medium to a target medium of the same tape media fam- ily. All data will be copied bit–by–bit: medium volume header (including medium volume UUID), medium volume data and Fast Recovery Informa- tion (from all data volumes as well as system volume). Target medium may not belong to any media pool that is assigned to a partition. See details in the User’s Guide. If a user wants to replace a medium with its duplicate, then he labels the duplicate medium with original barcode and replaces the original with its copy. Refer to File System Extender User146s Guide for the duplication process details.

–reorg

Start the media reorganization job for the specified FSE medium or FSE medium volume(s). If the –no–monitoroption is not specified, the progress of the reorganization job will be reported to the command output. Note that you can only start the reorganization job if the FSE medium vol- umes involved in the process have already been scanned for obsolete data. Note that the reorganization process may take a considerable amount of time. Refer to File System Extender User146s Guide for the reorganization process details.

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.
