hp StorageWorks File System Extender User Guide 207
Description If an FSE partition is removed from the FSE implementation configuration, with the assigned
HSM file system left intact, this HSM file system cannot be mounted again even it the FSE
partition is configured with the same parameters (External FSE client-specific).
Explanation The HSM DB, located on the external FSE client, is not removed during removal of the FSE
partition.
Workaround After removing the FSE partition from the FSE implementation configuration, manually delete the
corresponding directory and its contents from the external FSE client.
Linux specific
On Linux FSE client, delete the directory /var/opt/fse/part/PartitionName.
Windows specific
On Windows FSE client, delete the directory
%InstallPath%\var\part\PartitionName.
Note that the value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation
process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.
Description Deleting disk volumes on a consolidated FSE implementation or an FSE client with configured
HSM file systems may result in an inoperable FSE implementation (Windows system-specific).
Explanation After a disk volume is deleted from the system, indices of the disk volumes that store HSM file
systems may get updated. In such circumstances, the HSM file system filter may attach to
improper volumes, and consequently cease normal FSE implementation operation.
Workaround Do not change the disk partitioning schema on a system if HSM file systems are already
configured locally.
