Example outputs of the fse --status command

If software installation was successful, you should get the following (typical) outputs with the fse --statuscommand:

Consolidated FSE system - FSE daemons running

fse-svc ( pid 17399 ) is running...

fse-rm ( pid 17411 ) is running...

fse-mif ( pid 17427 ) is running...

fse-fsevtmgr ( pid 17707 ) is running...

FSE server - FSE daemons running

fse-svc ( pid 17399 ) is running...

fse-rm ( pid 17411 ) is running...

fse-mif ( pid 17427 ) is running...

FSE client - FSE daemons running

fse-svc ( pid 17399 ) is running...

fse-fsevtmgr ( pid 17707 ) is running...

Note that the actual process IDs (the numbers that follow the pid strings) will be different on your system.

Configuring and starting HSM Health Monitor

To use HSM Health Monitor, you need to configure it and start its daemon on the Linux systems that are included in the FSE implementation.

In a mixed or distributed FSE implementation, you need to start the HSM Health Monitor daemon on the consolidated FSE system or FSE server before starting the HSM Health Monitor daemon on the external FSE clients.

Configuring HSM Health Monitor

For details on configuration of the HSM Health Monitor utility, see the FSE user guide, chapter ”Monitoring and maintaining FSE”, section ”Low storage space detection”.

Starting the HSM Health Monitor daemon

To start the HSM Health Monitor daemon on the local system, invoke the following command:

# hhm start

Configuring and starting Log Analyzer

If you decide to use Log Analyzer for monitoring the log files, you need to configure it and start its daemons on the Linux systems on which you want to monitor the log files.

Configuring Log Analyzer

For details on configuration of the Log Analyzer utility, see the FSE user guide, chapter ”Monitoring and maintaining FSE”, section ”FSE log files”, subsection ”Monitoring and analyzing FSE log files”.

Starting the Log Analyzer daemon

To start the Log Analyzer daemons on the local system, depending on the event log file that you want to monitor, invoke the following commands:

#loganalyzer start

#loganalyzer_messages start

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.
