Description

After invocation of the fse --start command on a particular FSE system host, some FSE

 

processes that should be started on the host (consolidated FSE system, FSE server or external

 

FSE client) are not running.

 

(SUSE Linux Enterprise Server system specific)

Explanation

If the required FSE packages were installed on the host using a single rpm command, some of

 

the packages may not have been installed correctly, due to unresolved dependencies. The

 

reason for this is the rpm command included in the SUSE Linux distributions, which does not

 

automatically sort the specified packages in order to resolve their dependencies.

Workaround Check which packages have been successfully installed on the system:

1.At the command prompt, enter:

# ls -a /etc/opt/fse

2.Inspect the command output for files that determine installed packages. On a consolidated FSE system, check for the following files:

.agent.pkg

.cli-admin.pkg

.cli-user.pkg

.client.pkg

.common.pkg

.server.pkg

On an FSE server, check for the following files:

.agent.pkg

.cli-admin.pkg

.common.pkg

.server.pkg

On an external FSE client, check for the following files:

.cli-user.pkg

.client.pkg

.common.pkg

If any of the above files are missing, perform the following steps to reinstall the required packages:

a. Determine which packages you tried to install, as follows:

#rpm -qa grep "^fse-" grep -v fse-gui.client.pkg

b.Reinstall all the packages listed in the command output. Use the sequence described in chapter ”Installing FSE software” in the FSE installation guide for Linux, and the following command to reinstall each package:

#rpm -U --replacepkgs --replacefiles PackageName

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.
