Example

HSM_DEBUG_FILE=.

Debugs can occupy a lot of disk space when troubleshooting an unpredictable problem.

Linux specific

On Linux platform, if you need more disk space than available in the /var/opt/fse/log/debug directory, change your working directory to /var/opt/fse/log and create a symbolic link to a location with more disk space. To achieve this, run the following commands:

#mkdir /tmp/BIG_DISK

#cd /var/opt/fse/log

#rmdir debug

#ln -s /tmp/BIG_DISK debug

Windows specific

On Windows platform, if you need more disk space than available in the

%InstallPath%\var\log\debug directory, you can prepare a separate disk volume and mount it to this directory. Before mounting ensure that the directory is empty.

HSM_DEBUG_FLAGS

Select the detailed information you want to log in the debug trace files. Use multiple letters if you want different items to be logged:

Option value

Description

 

 

I

Function in & out — log FSE function entries and exits.

 

Note that this type of logging will create large debug files.

 

 

N

No header — print no header in the trace output line.

 

 

C

Compact — print compact headers in the trace output line.

 

This is the recommended type of logging.

 

 

T

Exception throw — log exception throwing events in the trace output.

 

 

E

Error logging — log errors in the trace output also.

 

Linux specific

 

By default, errors are only logged to the file

 

/var/opt/fse/log/error.log.

 

Windows specific

 

By default, errors are only logged to the file

 

%InstallPath%\var\log\error.log.

 

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

 

installation process. It defaults to

 

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

 

 

V

Verbose third-party debugs — produce verbose omniORB debugging

 

information.

 

 

O

Log only the specified level — cause the debugging level specified by the

 

HSM_DEBUG_LEVEL variable to omit the debugging information from the

 

lower levels (which would normally be included).

 

 

Example

 

HSM_DEBUG_FLAGS=CTE

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.
