#CriticalActionGE: umount-ge, email-ge

#CriticalActionLT: mount-lt, email-lt

#WarnThreshold: 90

#WarnActionGE: email-ge

#WarnActionLT: email-lt

#in the above case, HHM will do the following if:

#- warning threshold is crossed upwards --> send an e-mail

#- critical threshold crossed upwards --> send an e-mail, umount hsmfs

#- critical threshold crossed downwards --> send an e-mail, mount hsmfs

#- warning threshold is crossed downwards --> send an e-mail

#The same rules are valid, if one of the media-pools is filled up above the

#critical threshold.

Configuring low storage space detection

To adjust the HHM default behavior to meet the requirements of your environment, the HHM configuration file on the consolidated FSE system or FSE server must be modified and the configuration database updated.

IMPORTANT: HHM configuration files on the external FSE clients are ignored.

Do not edit the HHM configuration file itself, but follow the procedure described in ”Modifying the contents of the HHM configuration file” on page 195 to modify a copy of the configuration file and commit changes to the HHM configuration database.

Listing the contents of the HHM configuration file

Use the following command to list the contents of the HHM configuration file:

hhm -s

or

hhm --show

Modifying the contents of the HHM configuration file

To modify the contents of the HHM configuration file:

1.Make a copy of the HHM configuration file by issuing the following command: hhm -s > MyHHMConfiguration

where MyHHMConfiguration is the file name of the copy of the HHM configuration file.

2.Modify the contents of the copy of the HHM configuration file to meet the requirements of your environment. For more information on the contents of the HMM configuration file, see section ”HHM configuration file” on page 187.

3.Save and close the copy of the HHM configuration file.

4.Issue the following command to update the configuration database with the saved changes:

hhm -mMyHHMConfiguration

or

hhm --modifyMyHHMConfiguration

where MyHHMConfiguration is the file name of the modified copy of the HHM configuration file.

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.
