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 a consolidated 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 the Windows platform
Mounting disk volumes on Windows is 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 148.
To allow a disk volume to be mounted through the HSM file system filter, proceed as follows:
1. On the consolidated FSE system or external FSE client, determine the name of the volume that belongs
to the FSE partition. Use the command mountvol for this purpose.
2. Invoke the following command, specifying the volume name in the form of
\\?\Volume{VolumeGUID}\:
The command will detach the automatically attached NTFS from the volume and allow it to be mounted
later as an HSM file system.
Additionally, if the FSE processes are running, use the following command to explicitly mount an HSM file
system in Full Access Mode before it is actually accessed:
You can later check if the HSM file system is available as follows:
1. At the command prompt, use the cd command to change the current directory to the mount point of the
HSM file system, and run the dir command.
2. Invoke the following command:
In the command output, the reported status of the FSE partition should be mounted.
NOTE: For information on how to determine the access mode for a particular HSM file system or
troubleshoot potential problems with disk volume access, see the description of the fse command in the
FSE command-line reference.
Reconfiguring FSE interprocess communication
FSE interprocess communication is configured according to the FSE implementation (consolidated,
distributed, or mixed FSE implementation) and the network type used for FSE interprocess communication
(ordinary LAN, private network). In this context, the term ordinary LAN means the common company LAN
to which systems are attached using their primary network adapters, and the term private network means a
dedicated network to which systems are attached using their secondary network adapters.
