Installing FSE release 3.4 software on a Linux FSE client

To install FSE release 3.4 software over the installed previous FSE product appropriately, change the current directory to the one with the installation packages. Install all required FSE 3.4 RPM packages using two invocations of the rpm command. You need to pay regard to the proposed order of precedence:

#rpm -Fvh fse-common-3.4.0* fse-client-3.4.0* fse-cli-user-3.4.0*

#rpm -ivh fse-util-3.4.0*

The second rpm command installs the FSE utilities: HSM Health Monitor and Log Analyzer.

As the packages get installed, the internal RPM script enables the automatic startup of the FSE processes at FSE client system’s boot time.

Starting up a Linux FSE client

On the external FSE client, you need to start the FSE processes, but you also need to perform an additional step before the startup. This step is required because of a changed format of the FileSystemID parameter in the FSE partition configuration files.

Follow the procedure:

1.On the external FSE client, make all entries in the file /etc/fstab that are related to the local HSM file systems active again: remove the commenting characters that you added in step 3 of the procedure in section ”Upgrading the operating system on Linux hosts” on page 56.

2.Run the fse --startcommand to start the FSE client processes. The proper FSE client startup progress is shown in the command output.

# fse --start

Upgrading Windows FSE clients

For information on how to upgrade the Windows FSE clients, see the FSE installation guide for Windows, chapter ”Upgrading from previous FSE releases”.

Configuring and starting HSM Health Monitor

To use HSM Health Monitor, you need to configure it and start its daemon on the hosts 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 on Linux systems

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

# hhm start
