restore
(FSE restore)
A process that recreates complete and consistent state of the FSE server at a particular point in
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
(FSE restore log)
A file that stores information about activity of the FSE restore process. FSE restore log is named
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
space
A space on FSE media controlled by the FSE implementation. Secondary storage 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
(FSE server)
A set of FSE daemons (services) that are responsible for managing the configured FSE
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
(FSE shared library)
A proprietary dynamically loaded library, included in the FSE package, that is used by the FSE
processes.
slack space
(FSE slack space)
Space on FSE media that is occupied by the migrated file generations that were treated as
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
(FSE slot)
A physical place in the FSE library that holds a single FSE tape medium when it is not loaded
in an FSE drive. FSE slots have their entries in the Resource Management Database.
SMR See ”system maintenance release (FSE system maintenance release)”.
software
(FSE software)
The programs and data files that are included in the FSE package. Once installed, they actively
control the FSE implementation and provide functionality to its users. See also ”implementation
(FSE implementation)”.
system file
(FSE system file)
A temporary file, created by the FSE software, which contains information about the current
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
release
(FSE system
maintenance release)
A complete set of rebuilt FSE installation packages that include updates from several FSE hot
fixes and other improvements, which can be installed over initial FSE release software. System
maintenance release can be used to update any FSE implementation with an appropriate FSE
release version installed.
tape media pool
(FSE tape media pool)
See ”media pool (FSE media pool)”.
