If you are upgrading an FSE server, invoke the following commands:

#rpm -Fvh fse-common-3.4.0* fse-server-3.4.0* fse-agent-3.4.0* \ fse-cli-admin-3.4.0*

#rpm -ivh fse-util-3.4.0*

In both cases, the second rpm command installs the FSE utilities: HSM Health Monitor and Log Analyzer.

If you are upgrading the FSE release 3.4 with an FSE system maintenance release or an FSE hot fix for this release, perform the following procedure to appropriately install the software on the consolidated FSE system or FSE server:

At the command line, change the current directory to the one with the installation packages. Install all required FSE system maintenance release or FSE hot fix RPM packages with one invocation of the rpm command.

If you are upgrading a consolidated FSE system, invoke the following command:

#rpm -Fvh fse-common-3.4.SMRNumber* fse-server-3.4.SMRNumber* \ fse-agent-3.4.SMRNumber* fse-client-3.4.SMRNumber* \ fse-cli-admin-3.4.SMRNumber* fse-cli-user-3.4.SMRNumber* \ fse-util-3.4.SMRNumber*

If you are upgrading an FSE server, invoke the following command:

#rpm -Fvh fse-common-3.4.SMRNumber* fse-server-3.4.SMRNumber* \ fse-agent-3.4.SMRNumber* fse-cli-admin-3.4.SMRNumber* \ fse-util-3.4.SMRNumber*

Starting up the FSE server

On the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server, you need to start the FSE processes. Depending on the type of the FSE host, you may need to perform additional steps after the startup. These steps are required because of a changed format of the FileSystemID parameter in the FSE partition configuration files.

Follow the procedure:

1.Run the fse --startcommand to start omniNames (CORBA Naming Service daemon) and the FSE server processes:

#fse --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.
