Phase 4: configuring FSE partitions
NOTE: A particular FSE partition is related to a single HSM file system and one or more FSE media pools.
Configuring a regular FSE partition on the Linux platform
After you have configured FSE media pools and prepared an HSM file system, you can configure an FSE
partition as follows:
1. The FSE partition configuration contains the path to the device file of the HSM file system. To retrieve the
path, run the following command on the consolidated FSE system or external FSE client:
NOTE: If the file system is located on an FSE client, the command has to be run on the client
system. It is mandatory to provide exact information about the file system location.
The next steps depend on the chosen FSE user interface.
To configure an FSE partition using the FSE command-line interface, proceed with the following steps:
2. On the consolidated FSE system or the FSE server, locate the directory with the FSE configuration
templates.
Linux specific
On the Linux platform, the full pathname of the directory with FSE configuration templates is
/opt/fse/newconfig.
Windows specific
On the Windows platform, the full pathname of the directory with FSE configuration templates is
%InstallPath%\newconfig. The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the
FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.
3. Make a local copy of the FSE partition configuration template. The template is named
fse-partition.cfg.
4. Edit the local copy of the FSE partition configuration file template, and paste the path to the device file
in the FileSystemID parameter.
The following excerpt of the partition configuration file shows the required path to the device file:
# ls -l /dev/vg_fsefs/fs02
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 May 18 11:55 /dev/vg_fsefs/fs02 ->
/dev/mapper/vg_fsefs-fs02
#
# Where is the HSM file system?
#
Client "linux_fse_host.company.com"
{
FileSystemID = "/dev/mapper/vg_fsefs-fs02"
# e.g. /dev/mapper/hsmfs1, Linux client
# FileSystemID = "Volume{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}"
# Windows client
Type = Regular
# Regular - regular read/write file system
# WORM - Write-Once-Read-Many file system
