2.In the above command output, mark and copy the \\?\Volume{VolumeGUID}\ value above the line D:\hsm_fs_folder:

\\?\Volume{f6f3e1b6-b2ac-11d7-9c99-00b0d02fadef}\

The next steps depend on the chosen FSE user interface.

To configure an FSE partition using the FSE command-line interface, proceed with the following steps:

3.On the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server, locate the directory with the FSE configuration templates.

Linux specific

On the Linux platform, the full pathname of the directory with FSE configuration templates is

/opt/fse/newconfig. Windows specific

On the Windows platform, the full pathname of the directory with FSE configuration templates is %InstallPath%\newconfig. The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

4.Make a local copy of the FSE partition configuration template. The template is named fse-partition.cfg.

5.Edit the local copy of the FSE partition configuration template, and paste the volume name without the \\?\ prefix and without the trailing backslash in the FileSystemID parameter.

The following excerpt of the partition configuration file shows the required volume ID format:

#Where is the HSM file system?

Client "windows_fse_host.company.com"

{

#FileSystemID = "_HSM_FS_DEVICE_FILE_NAME_"

#e.g. /dev/mapper/hsmfs1, Linux client FileSystemID="Volume{f6f3e1b6-b2ac-11d7-9c99-00b0d02fadef}"

#Windows client

Type = Regular

#Regular - regular read/write file system

#WORM - Write-Once-Read-Many file system

#uncomment and configure if Type = WORM :

#WORMTimeout = 450s

}

6.Decide which FSE media pools should be assigned to the FSE partition, and specify an appropriate value for the Pools variable in the configuration file.

CAUTION: Once migrations have already been running on the FSE partition, you cannot change the set of FSE media pools that are assigned to the FSE partition any more.

7.Configure all other parameters in the configuration file. For more information, see chapter ”Migration, release, recall, and deletion”.

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.
