2.10 NAME

–enable

Enable operation of FSE partition Name, which is currently disabled.

–reorg–scan

Scan FSE medium volumes on all media that belong to the FSE partition Name for obsolete data using the mandatory ExpirationDate and optional NumberOfGenerations parameter. The scan statistics are recorded in the corresponding File System Catalog, in order to be used by the reorganiza- tion job. Note that the scanning process may take a considerable amount of time. For more information on the media reorganization, see the FSE user guide.

ExpirationDate

Treat all migrated file data generations that were created after Expiration- Date as valid. You have to specify the ExpirationDate parameter in the form of "YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss" or "YYYY/MM/DD". In the latter case, the time 00:00:00 is assumed. Note that if additional NumberOfGenerations parameter is specified, not all such generations may be preserved by the reorganization process. This depends on the actual value of NumberOf- Generations.

NumberOfGenerations

Treat at most NumberOfGenerations latest migrated file data generations as valid. Specifying this parameter, you can reduce the number of generations that would be preserved using the ExpirationDate parameter alone.

–reorg–stat

Display the statistics gathered by the reorganizational scan job that was run on the FSE partition Name. The reported values / statistics are displayed for each belonging FSE medium, and are the following:

1.Barcode .......... FSE medium barcode,

2.VolNum .......... number of FSE medium volumes on the medium,

3.ValidData .......... amount of valid (non–obsolete) data stored on the medium (in MB),

4.Total .......... total amount of data stored on the medium (in MB),

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.
