•– –status

Show status of each FSE (server, client) daemon (service), i.e. configuration–independent FSE (server, client) process. For details on FSE daemon (service) status info, see section FSE PROCESSES.

•– –mount

•– –umount

Linux systems: The command fse – –mount – –umount should not be used by the FSE administrator directly. It is called by fse–svc daemon (ser- vice) during a recovery of an HSM file system.

Windows systems: Use the command fse – –mount – –umount with great care. It should be used instead of mountvol command if you want to ad- ministrate an FSE partition (for example to enable or disable it).

–fse – –mountcommand will create a mount point MountPoint for the volume VolumeName and trigger HSM FS filter to connect to volume device file and start fse–hsm.

–fse – –umountcommand will stop fse–hsm and switch the HSM FS filter operation for managing accesses to the volume VolumeName

from Full Access Mode to Limited Access Mode. For information on Limited Access Mode, see description of the – –limit–accessoption.

•MountPoint

A directory path that represents the mount point to which the VolumeName NTFS volume will be mounted.

•VolumeName

Volume ID of an NTFS volume that stores an HSM file system on a Win- dows client. Volume ID is volume name without the \\?\ prefix and without the trailing backslash.

•– –dismount–ntfs

Windows systems only: Dismount the newly formatted NTFS volume VolumeName. Dismount is achieved by sending an appropriate code (the FSCTL_DISMOUNT_VOLUME ioctrl code) to the volume. Later, when the volume is mounted again, the HSM FS filter can attach to it before

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.
