Description

Execution of the fsecheck --fsc-media command seems to complete successfully, however, the

 

following message is written to the FSE event log:

 

ERROR: FAILED creating new FRI

No space left on device.

Explanation

The file system that stores the temporary Fast Recovery Information files ran out of free space.

 

Linux specific

 

 

Fast Recovery Information is located in the directory /var/opt/fse/fri.

 

Windows specific

 

 

Fast Recovery Information is located in the directory %InstallPath%\var\fri.

 

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

 

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

 

In this case, the results of the FSE check job are incorrect and should not be considered.

Workaround

Extend the size of the volume that stores the file system for Fast Recovery Information and run

 

the consistency check again. The formula for the estimated maximum size for the temporary

 

Fast Recovery Information files is given in the FSE installation guide for a particular platform.

For space requirements of the fsecheck --fsc-mediacommand, you have to consider the total number of full and open medium volumes (instead of the number of open medium volumes) to calculate the nv variable.

Description

During the execution of an FSE deletion job, warnings are not logged in the FSE event log file

 

for non-existing paths.

Explanation

Paths specified in the Path variable in the deletion-policy part of an FSE partition configuration

 

file are not checked to see if they exist during execution of the corresponding FSE deletion jobs

 

on this partition.

Workaround

None

Description

After an FSE partition is removed from the FSE configuration, the partition-specific files are not

 

deleted.

 

(External FSE client specific)

Explanation

The HSMDB, located on the external FSE client, is not removed during removal of the FSE

 

partition.

Workaround

After removing the FSE partition from the FSE configuration, manually delete the corresponding

 

directory and its contents from the external FSE client.

 

Linux specific

 

On Linux FSE clients, delete the directory /var/opt/fse/part/PartitionName.

 

Windows specific

 

On Windows FSE client, delete the directory

 

%InstallPath%\var\part\PartitionName.

 

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

 

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