restore

A process that recreates complete and consistent state of the FSE server at a particular point in

(FSE restore)

time, using data from the backup image. Restore is required after disaster causes data on the

 

FSE server to be damaged or lost.

restore log

A file that stores information about activity of the FSE restore process. FSE restore log is named

(FSE restore log)

restore.log and located in the directory /var/opt/fse/log (on Linux platform) or in the

 

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

retention time

A defined period of time for files on the release candidate list during which a file is kept online

 

(after it was migrated or recalled) before it is released. The retention time is reset when any of

 

following changes: file contents, standard attributes, time stamps, permissions, or ownership.

Samba

Software that allows a Linux server to act as a file server to Windows clients. A Samba server

 

must be running on the machine that hosts the HSM file system to allow Samba clients to access

 

the HSM file system. See also CIFS”.

secondary storage

A space on FSE media controlled by the FSE implementation. Secondary storage space

space

transparently extends primary storage space, which is the HSM file system. It has to be

 

configured, formatted, and initialized before it can be used.

server

A set of FSE daemons (services) that are responsible for managing the configured FSE

(FSE server)

resources, accepting and executing user commands, executing all types of FSE jobs, and

 

monitoring and operating the FSE implementation. These daemons (services) are: Resource

 

Manager, Management Interface, Partition Manager, Library Agent, and Back End Agent.

Service

An FSE daemon (service) which launches other FSE daemons (services) and agents. The Service

 

process name is fse-svc.

shared library

A proprietary dynamically loaded library, included in the FSE package, that is used by the FSE

(FSE shared library)

processes.

slack space

Space on FSE media that is occupied by the migrated file generations that were treated as

(FSE slack space)

obsolete by the FSE reorganizational scan job. The FSE medium volumes with a relatively high

 

slack space percentage should eventually be reorganized and reused.

slot

A physical place in the FSE library that holds a single FSE tape medium when it is not loaded

(FSE slot)

in an FSE drive. FSE slots have their entries in the Resource Management Database.

SMR

See system maintenance release (FSE system maintenance release)”.

software

The programs and data files that are included in the FSE package. Once installed, they actively

(FSE software)

control the FSE implementation and provide functionality to its users. See also implementation

 

(FSE implementation)”.

system file

A temporary file, created by the FSE software, which contains information about the current

(FSE system file)

status of the FSE implementation. FSE system files are Fast Recovery Information, File System

 

Catalog transaction logs, Hierarchical Storage Manager lists, and files stored in the FSE disk

 

buffer.

system maintenance

A complete set of rebuilt FSE installation packages that include updates from several FSE hot

release

fixes and other improvements, which can be installed over initial FSE release software. System

(FSE system

maintenance release can be used to update any FSE implementation with an appropriate FSE

maintenance release) release version installed.
