2.10 NAME 77
• list names and current status for configured partitions in the FSE implemen-
tation,
• show current status of an FSE partition,
• disable or enable an FSE partition,
• scan FSE media that belong to an FSE partition for obsolete data,
• display the reorganizational scan statistics for the FSE media that belong to
an FSE partition.
Each FSE command communicates with the FSE processes through the Manage-
ment Interface (fse–mif). To execute an FSE command, the Management Interface
must be running. If the connection to the Management Interface fails, check its
status by running the fse status command. In case the Management Interface is
not running, start it with the fse – –start command.
After a successful command execution fsepartition notifies the FSE administrator
with a suitable message, which is printed to the standard output stream (stdout).
If there was an error during the command execution, an appropriate error message
is printed to the standard error stream (stderr).
PARTITION TYPE When configuring a new FSE partition with the – –add
option, FSE administrator has the possibility to define two different FSE partition
types: regular and WORM. The chosen partition type affects the characteristics
of the underlying HSM file system. Regular FSE partition type uses a common
HSM file system with all its features and capabilities, whereas WORM FSE par-
tition type uses a modified HSM file system, a WORM HSM file system, which
forbids changing contents of files once they are written to the file system.
The preferred FSE partition type can be specified by setting appropriate value for
a variable in the FSE partition configuration template.
Note:
A WORM FSE partition does not necessarily need to have WORM FSE me-
dia pools assigned. See the fsepool man page for details on WORM FSE
media pools.
