The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

1.Locate the desired template in the newconfig directory and copy it to the selected directory, in this example named MyConfiguration, using the following commands:

Linux specific

#cd MyConfiguration

#cp /opt/fse/newconfig/fse-partition.cfg Partition01Config

Windows specific

D:\>cd MyConfiguration

D:\MyConfiguration>copy

C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE\newconfig\fse-partition.cfg

Partition01Config

2.Edit the template and modify the parameter values relevant for the new FSE partition.

NOTE: While modifying the template, preserve the double quote characters (") that surround the values of some variables. Removing these characters might lead to problems in certain cases.

3.To configure a new partition, apply the modified template running the following command: fsepartition --add Partition01Config

You have configured a new FSE partition. This FSE partition configuration is stored in the configuration database as the first respective configuration revision.

Modifying the configuration of an FSE resource

In this example, you want to change the parameter values of your migration policy. Since these parameters are written in the FSE partition configuration file, you will use the fsepartition command followed by the relevant command options, which you can use in a similar way when re-configuring any of the FSE resources.

1.Check the names of the configured partitions in order to get the exact name of the partition for which you want to modify a migration policy, using the following command:

fsepartition --list [--detail]

2.Copy the parameters of the selected partition (in this example named Partition01) to a file, named for example MyFile in the current directory:

fsepartition --show Partition01 > MyFile

3.Edit the created configuration file and modify the parameter values relevant for your policies using any text editor.

4.Apply the new configuration using the following command:

fsepartition --modify Partition01 MyFile

This FSE partition configuration is stored in the configuration database with a new revision number.

Reverting to a previous revision of an FSE resource configuration

In this example, 5 configuration revisions exist for a particular FSE partition, and you want to revert from the current to the configuration revision 4. You will retrieve the chosen fourth revision from the configuration database, and then reapply it.

1.Check the names of the configured partitions in order to get the exact name of the partition for which you want revert to the previous revision, using the following command:

fsepartition --list [--detail]

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.
