To stop FSE Management Console client process, you need to close its GUI window.

To stop the FSE Management Console server process, invoke the following command on the consolidated FSE system or FSE server:

# /etc/init.d/guisrv stop

To stop the FSE Management Console server process, run the Services administrative tool, locate and right-click the entry File System Extender GUI Server, and click Stop.

For details, see the FSE user guide, chapter ”Configuring, starting, and stopping the FSE Management Console”.

2.Shutdown the FSE implementation.

Shutting down the FSE implementation means terminating FSE processes on all systems that are included in the FSE implementation.

3.On the consolidated FSE system or FSE server, stop the omniNames daemon (service).

4.On all hosts that are part of the FSE implementation and are running on a Linux platform, upgrade the operating system to the required version.

For more information on the supported operating systems, see the latest support matrices.

5.Upgrade the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server to the new FSE release and start the FSE processes on it.

6.Upgrade external FSE clients and start the FSE processes on them.

NOTE: Each system that is part of the FSE implementation must be upgraded with the same FSE product version.

7.If the FSE Management Console is installed in the FSE implementation, upgrade the FSE Management Console components.

8.If there is FSE Management Console installed in the FSE implementation, start the FSE Management Console server and the FSE Management Console client processes.

For details, see the FSE user guide, chapter ”Configuring, starting, and stopping the FSE Management Console”.

9.Configure and start HSM Health Monitor.

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

10.Optionally, configure and start Log Analyzer.

For details on configuring 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”.

11.Back up the FSE server using FSE backup.

For details, see the FSE user guide, chapter ”Backup, restore, and recovery”.

CAUTION: If you have had a backup policy defined for backing up your FSE implementation, all backups of the FSE implementation that were created using the previous FSE version are useless. To preserve the data safety level, you need to create new backups immediately after the upgrade is complete.

Shutting down the FSE implementation

You need to terminate current FSE activity on the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server and all external FSE clients to be able to perform the upgrade. Before shutting down the FSE processes, you are strongly advised to check the File System Catalogs (FSCs) of all FSE partitions and eliminate any inconsistencies, which could potentially escalate into more severe problems after the upgrade process.

Perform the following procedure:

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.
