2.In the /etc directory, create a plain text file gds_hosts.equiv containing the following two lines:

+

+localhost

3.If you are installing FirebirdSS to a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server system, once the Firebird SuperServer is installed, open the file /etc/sysconfig/firebird with a text editor, search for the START_FIREBIRD variable, and set its value to "yes". If the line does not exist, add it as follows:

#Start the Firebird RDBMS ?

START_FIREBIRD="yes"

If the file /etc/sysconfig/firebird does not exist, create it and add the above contents to it.

Disabling ACPI

Some kernels can have incomplete implementation of support for the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Enabled kernel support for ACPI causes problems on the symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) machines (the machines with multiple processors), and on machines with SCSI disk controllers. This means that you need to disable the kernel support for ACPI before booting the SMP variant of a Linux kernel on a SMP machine or an arbitrary kernel variant on a machine with SCSI disk controller. ACPI has to be disabled on all supported distributions. The following additional boot-loader parameter disables ACPI:

acpi=off

However, with some configurations, this single parameter does not give the desired effect. In such cases, a different set of boot-loader parameters must be specified to disable ACPI. Instead of the acpi=off string, you must provide the following options:

acpi=oldboot pci=noacpi apm=power-off

See http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/10/81_acpi.html for information on kernel parameters to control the ACPI code.

Depending on the boot loader you are using on the system, you need to modify the appropriate boot-loader configuration file to disable ACPI.

Disabling ACPI with GRUB boot loader

To disable ACPI, you need to edit the GRUB configuration file /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the syntax acpi=off to it.

The following is an example for supplying the required booting parameter to a kernel image that resides in the directory /boot/bzImage on the system’s first hard drive:

title Linux

root (hd0,0)

kernel /boot/bzImage acpi=off

Disabling ACPI with LILO boot loader

To disable ACPI, you need to edit the LILO configuration file and add the syntax append = "acpi=off" to it. The LILO configuration file is usually /etc/lilo.conf.

This is an example for supplying the required booting parameter to a kernel image that resides in the directory /boot/bzImage:

image = /boot/bzImage

label = Linux

read-only

append = "acpi=off"

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.
