Communication problems

Description

CORBA cannot be initialized. After invocation of an FSE command, the following error is

 

reported:

 

Consolidated FSE system or FSE server specific

 

6000 Cannot initialize CORBA ORB. 'CORBA::COMM_FAILURE'

 

FSE client specific

 

Failed to initialize CORBA

Explanation

Possible reason for this problem may be that omniNames is not running on the consolidated

 

FSE system or FSE server and, consequently, its host is not accessible to the FSE client.

Workaround

Proceed as follows:

 

1. On the consolidated FSE system or FSE server, verify the status of the CORBA Naming

 

Service daemon (service) (omniNames).

 

Linux specific

 

Run the command omniNames --statusand inspect its output. If omniNames is not

 

running, invoke the command omniNames --start or omniNames --restart as

 

appropriate.

 

Windows specific

 

Use the Services tool to check the status of the omniORB CORBA Naming Service, and to

 

start it, if it is not running.

 

2. On the FSE client, verify the settings specified in the omniORB.cfg file.The location of the

 

file is platform-dependent.

 

Linux specific

 

On Linux platform, omniORB.cfg is located in the directory /etc/opt/fse.

 

Windows specific

 

On Windows platform, omniORB.cfg is located in the directory %InstallPath%\etc.

 

The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process.

 

It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

 

3. Check the network connection between the FSE client and the FSE server. For this purpose,

 

you can use the tool fse_net.

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.
