About monitoring and maintaining in FSE
You can use either the FSE command-line interface or FSE management console to monitor and manage
every aspect of the FSE implementation, for example, jobs, partitions, and resources such as libraries,
drives, and media.
For general information on FSE command-line interface, see ”FSE command-line interface” on page 22.
You can find specific options for each command by running it with the --help option.
Linux specific
On Linux platform, the FSE command-line reference is available as UNIX man pages.
Windows specific
On Windows platform, the FSE command-line reference is available as Windows/HTML help.
For general information on the FSE management console, see ”FSE Management Console” on page 25.
Monitoring the FSE implementation
The fsesystem command is used to manage the FSE system configuration and also to monitor the current
FSE system status. You can view the status of all configured FSE partitions by running the
fsesystem --status command on the consolidated FSE implementation or the FSE server.
As shown in the example below, the output is the following:
• number of partitions in the FSE implementation
• number of currently running administration jobs
• partition name, current status, the number of running jobs, host name, and mount point of the owning
HSM file system for each partition. The partition status can be one of: disabled, stopped, ready,
mounted, unknown.
