74 Configuring FSE
1. Check the status of the FSE partitions using the following command:
The status for all configured partitions must be “ready”.
2. Create a directory that will serve as a mount point for the HSM file system:
3. Add the corresponding file system entry to the local file /etc/fstab.This step is platform dependent.
Linux specific
Add the following line to the /etc/fstab file:
CAUTION: You must use the values in the third
1
, fourth
2
, fifth, and sixth column as specified
above. You may use different values in the first and second column according to your actual LVM
volume configuration.
The following notes apply:
•The keyword hsmfs in the third column refers to the file system type, which is the HSM file system.
•The keyword noauto refers to the file system mounting options. An HSM file system cannot be
automatically mounted at system startup when the local FSE processes are not running yet.
4. If necessary, repeat the steps 2 and 3 for all other local HSM file systems that you plan to use. Note
that their associated FSE partitions must already be configured.
5. Mount the local HSM file systems. This step depends on where you are about to mounting the HSM file
systems.
CAUTION: To avoid obstructing other FSE users and the operation of already existing HSM file
systems, it is necessary that you choose the mounting mode as appropriate.
If you are mounting the file systems on an integrated FSE system with connected external FSE clients or
on any FSE host where other local HSM file systems are already put into use, enter the following
command for each newly configured HSM file system:
If you are mounting HSM file systems on a newly installed FSE host, enter the following command to
mount all locally configured HSM file systems:
Mounting HSM file systems on Windows platform
Mounting disk volumes on Windows is in fact performed by the operating system automatically on its first
use. When an object on the disk volume (HSM file system) is accessed, the HSM file system is
automatically mounted in Full Access Mode (FAM) (if the FSE processes are already running) or in Limited
Access Mode (LAM) (if the FSE processes are not running yet). For more information on HSM file system
access modes, see ”HSM file system access modes” on page 132.
Additionally, if the FSE processes are running, use the following command to mount an HSM file system in
Full Access Mode before it is actually accessed:
In either case you can later check if the HSM file system is available as follows:
# fsesystem --status
# mkdir /fse/fsefs_01
/dev/vg_fsefs/fsefs_01 /fse/fsefs_01 hsmfs noauto 0 2
1. The keyword hsmfs in the third column refers to the type of file system. This is an HSM file system.
2. The keyword noauto refers to the file system mounting option. An HSM file system cannot be automatically mounted at system
boot time before FSE startup.
# mount /fse/fsefs_01
# fse --restart
C:\>fse --mount MountPoint VolumeName
