recall, recall job

A process, executed by the Partition Manager, that copies the file contents from the FSE media

 

to the HSM file system. Once the process is completed, the offline file becomes online again. Its

 

file entry is then added to the release candidate list.

recovery

A process, executed by the Partition Manager, that recovers the HSM file system or the File

(FSE recovery)

System Catalog (FSC) without requiring FSE backup copies. The HSM file system is recreated

 

from the Name Space Catalog (NSC), while the FSC is recreated either from Fast Recovery

 

Information (FRI) or from migrated metadata. FSE recovery can be used as a fallback if restore

 

of FSE is not possible due to missing FSE backup data. A recovery job is triggered explicitly on

 

an FSE user's request with the fserecover command.

recovery job

See recovery (FSE recovery)”.

recycled medium

An FSE medium volume from which all selected data was copied to another medium volume

volume

during media reorganization. The data on recycled medium volumes can no longer be

 

retrieved, but the storage space on such volumes can be reused for new migrated data.

redundant data copy A process in FSE that recreates a copy of a file set that has become unreadable, most probably

recreation because the FSE medium to which it was migrated is damaged. The process recreates the damaged data copy using copies of the same data that were migrated to other FSE media pools. Therefore, the main prerequisite to execute this process is a multiple media pool configuration of the corresponding FSE partition. A redundant data copy recreation process is triggered manually by the FSE administrator.

regular release

Release of files on an HSM file system that are on the release candidate list and meet the

 

predefined criteria, triggered when the high watermark of usage is reached on the HSM file

 

system. The process is stopped when the low watermark on the HSM file system is reached. See

 

also release”.

release

A process that usually follows a migration or recall, executed by the Hierarchical Storage

 

Manager. This process removes the file data from the HSM file system, leaving only the file

 

header. Release is triggered by the Partition Manager according to the defined watermarks.

 

After release, files are offline and their file entries are removed from the release candidate list.

release candidate

An online file that is scheduled for release and that has either been migrated or was brought

 

online by recall.

release candidate list A list of online files that have already been migrated or that have recently been recalled and are waiting to be released. The list is maintained by the Hierarchical Storage Manager.

release policy

A set of rules by which the release process for files on a release candidate list is initiated.

 

Configuration parameters for the release policy are specified in the FSE partition configuration

 

file. Each FSE partition has its own release policy.

resource

Either an FSE partition, FSE library, FSE drive, FSE media pool, or FSE medium including

(FSE resource)

medium volumes. Each FSE resource is configured using an FSE configuration file and has an

 

entry in the Resource Management Database.

Resource

A database with records of all configured FSE resources. It contains all relevant resource

Management

information, such as configuration parameters, resource characteristics, current status, usage

Database (RMDB)

statistics, and relations to other resources. The Resource Management Database is located in

 

the directory /var/opt/fse/rmdb (on Linux platform) or in the directory

 

%InstallPath%\var\rmdb directory (on Windows platform).

Resource Manager

An FSE daemon (service) responsible for managing data in the Resource Management

(RM)

Database, allocating and releasing FSE resources and providing resource information to other

 

FSE daemons (services) and processes. The Resource Manager process name is fse-rm.
