POST–START AND PRE–STOP SCRIPTS

FSE administrator can set up two

helper scripts which perform arbitrary automated tasks at the FSE implementation (FSE server, FSE client) startup and shut–down time. They are executed by the fse command.

Both helper scripts have to be placed in the /opt/fse/sbin (on Linux systems) or %InstallPath%\bin directory (on Windows systems) on a local machine, and have to be named as specified below:

•post_start.sh (on Linux systems) or post_start.cmd (on Windows systems)

... this is the post–start helper script. It is executed after all FSE processes have been started up and all existing HSM file systems with an entry in the /etc/fstab file (on Linux systems) or all existing HSM file systems with a defined mount point (on Windows systems) have been mounted, i.e. right after the FSE implementation is put into its fully operational state;

•pre_stop.sh (on Linux systems) or pre_stop.cmd (on Windows systems) .....

this is the pre–stop helper script. It is executed before all mounted HSM file systems are unmounted and all running FSE processes are shut down, i.e. right before the FSE implementation is pulled out of its fully operational state.

If any of these scripts does not exist, it is simply ignored.

IMPORTANT: The commands that you specify in the post–start and pre–stop scripts should not block the execution of the fse command. Thus, they have to conform to the following rules:

•They must not require interactive input.

•They must finish in a reasonable time and afterwards return the control to the script afterwards.

VOLUME STATES ON WINDOWS SYSTEMS On Windows systems, the fse – –list–volumes [– –detail ] command enumerates volumes on the local system and reports their states from the FSE viewpoint. Possible values of the reported parameter Status and their explanations are:

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.
