all. FSE administrator has to know exactly what he is doing when using this com-

mand.

The command is used to perform these FSE administrator’s tasks:

• start or shut down FSE processes to enable or cease the FSE implementation

(FSE server, FSE client) operation,

• restart FSE (server, client) processes in case of problems,

• print status information for the conﬁguration–independent FSE daemons

(services) running in the FSE implementation (FSE server, FSE client),

• on Windows systems, conﬁgure mount points for HSM ﬁle systems, mount

or unmount HSM ﬁle systems,

• on Windows systems, dismount a newly formatted volume, enable or dis-

able Limited Access Mode for a particular HSM ﬁle system,

• on Windows systems, enumerate all local volumes and report their status

with respect to the FSE implementation.

FSE PROCESSES Core FSE components, as for fse command, are run-

ning FSE processes, that are responsible for proper FSE operation. There are

two groups of FSE processes: conﬁguration–independent and conﬁguration–

dependent. The conﬁguration–independent FSE processes, also called FSE dae-

mons (services), allow FSE software to operate and intercommunicate. The

conﬁguration–dependent FSE processes control a single conﬁgured FSE resource.

FSE administrator may conﬁgure more than one resource of the same kind, so

there can be several FSE processes of the same kind running simultaneously. Cur-

rently, the only resources that are controlled by their own processes are FSE par-

tition and FSE library.

CONSOLIDATED AND DISTRIBUTED FSE IMPLEMENTATIONS It is

possible to either set up FSE on a consolidated system or distribute its function-

ality across one FSE server and an arbitrary number of FSE clients. In ﬁrst case,

all FSE processes are running on the same system, in the other some of them only

on FSE server as FSE server processes (marked with S character), some only on
