CAUTION: To avoid obstructing other FSE users and the operation of already existing HSM file systems, it is necessary that you choose the mounting mode as appropriate.

If you are mounting the file systems on a consolidated FSE system with connected external FSE clients or on any FSE host where other local HSM file systems are already put into use, enter the following command for each newly configured HSM file system:

# mount /fse/fsefs_01

If you are mounting HSM file systems on a newly installed FSE host, enter the following command to mount all locally configured HSM file systems:

# fse --restart

To perform this task on a system where the mount points are not configured yet, and the local file /etc/fstab is not updated with the HSM file system entries yet, follow the steps:

1.On the consolidated FSE system or FSE server, run the following command to check the status of the FSE partitions:

fsesystem --status

The reported status for all configured partitions must be ready.

2.On the consolidated FSE system or external FSE client, create a directory that will serve as a mount point for the HSM file system:

#mkdir /fse/fsefs_01

3.Invoke the following command to retrieve the name of the device file. Use the symbolic link that corresponds to your actual LVM configuration:

#ls -la /dev/vg_fse/fse01

The command generates an output similar to the following:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Aug 17 09:12 /dev/vg_fse/fse01 -> /dev/mapper/vg_fse-fse01

4.Add the corresponding file system entry to the local file /etc/fstab:

/dev/mapper/vg_fsefs-fs01

/fse/fsefs_01

hsmfs noauto 0 2

CAUTION: You must use the values in the third1, fourth2, fifth, and sixth column as specified above. You may use different values in the first and second column according to your actual LVM volume configuration.

The following notes apply:

•The keyword hsmfs in the third column refers to the file system type, which is the HSM file system.

•The keyword noauto refers to the file system mounting options. An HSM file system cannot be automatically mounted at system startup when the local FSE processes are not running yet.

5.If necessary, repeat the steps 2, 3, and 4 for all other local HSM file systems that you plan to use. Note that their associated FSE partitions must already be configured.

6.Mount the local HSM file systems. This step depends on where you are about to mounting the HSM file systems.

1.The keyword hsmfs in the third column refers to the type of file system. This is an HSM file system.

2.The keyword noauto refers to the file system mounting option. An HSM file system cannot be automatically mounted at system boot time before FSE startup.
