Recall priority RecallPriority | HP File System Extender (FSE)

Maximum number of drives for recall (MaxNumDrivesRecall)

Definition	Maximum number of drives that can be used for recall by the partition.

Impact	The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the respective Partition Manager from using
	all the drives at once for recall jobs. You should carefully balance resources according to
	your environment.

Maximum number of drives for recovery (MaxNumDrivesRecovery)

Definition	Maximum number of drives that can be used for recovery by the partition.

Impact	The purpose of this parameter is to prevent the respective Partition Manager from using
	all the drives at once for recovery jobs. You should carefully balance resources according
	to your environment.

Partition priority (PartitionPriority)

Definition	The overall priority level for all jobs of one partition on a scale of 1 to 100.

Impact	Partition priority is used together with job type priority (migration, recall, recovery,
	maintenance) to calculate the initial priority of the job. With this parameter you can
	differentiate overall priority of different FSE partitions.

Migration priority (MigrationPriority)

Definition	The priority for migration jobs on a scale of 1 to 100.

Impact	This priority is multiplied by the partition priority in order to calculate the initial priority of
	a migration job. Typically, the value of the migration priority is lower than the value of the
	recall priority (because recalls are more critical than migrations); however, you need to
	balance your job priorities carefully in order not to override other jobs. See ”Priority
	calculation” on page 146.

Recall priority (RecallPriority)

Definition	The priority for recall jobs on a scale of 1 to 100.

Impact	This priority is multiplied by the partition priority in order to calculate the initial priority of
	a recall job. Typically, the value for the recall priority is higher than the value for the
	migration priority; however, you need to balance your job priorities carefully in order not
	to override other jobs. See ”Priority calculation” on page 146.

Recovery priority (RecoveryPriority)

Definition	The priority for recovery jobs on a scale of 1 to 100.

Impact	This priority is multiplied by the partition priority in order to calculate the initial priority of
	a recovery job. See ”Priority calculation” on page 146.

Maintenance priority (MaintenancePriority)

Definition	The priority for maintenance jobs on a scale of 1 to 100.

Impact	This priority is multiplied by the partition priority in order to calculate the initial priority of
	a maintenance job. See ”Priority calculation” on page 146.

Default partition allocation and job priority policy

Default partition allocation and job priority policy is defined in the FSE configuration template for FSE partition configuration. For details, see ”Template for FSE partitions - Recall and Allocation part” on page 305.

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.
