–file is present on the HSM file system but had not been recognized by the FSE implementation for some reason. Adding it to the migration candidate list with this command preserves its attributes;

–the file is already migrated to an FSE medium that has its current status set to UNRELIABLE or it is obviously worn out. In these cases the file can be re–migrated to another FSE medium.

Note:

If specified file is already migrating or present on the release candidate list it cannot be added to the migration candidate list.

•–S ,– –release

Unconditionally release files, specified by the FileName... argument. All files must be located on the same HSM file system. The purpose of this operation is to gain free space on an HSM file system by releasing (large) files from it. The files released this way must be on the release candidate list. For details on the unconditional release process, see the FSE user guide.

•–T ,– –trigger–migration

Trigger migration job for files that are currently present on the migration candidate list on FSE partition PartitionName.

Trigger migration job for files that were not migrated because migration of those files failed.

•–D ,– –trigger–deletion

Trigger deletion of files on an HSM file system, which correspond to the deletion policy defined for the belonging FSE partition. The deletion pol- icy consists of a sequence of FileExpiration – Path parameter pairs that are specified in the FSE partition configuration file. Although the deletion re- moves the corresponding files from the HSM file system, their migrated generations still exist on FSE media, unless the media reorganization with appropriate parameters has been run on the media that hold the migrated copies. If this is not the case, these migrated generations can still be re- called. For more information on configuring the deletion policy, see the FSE user guide.

•–F ,– –force

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.
