Step 2: configuring FSE media pools
For detailed information on creating a specific media pool type, see ”Configuring a media pool” on
page 82. Generally, you configure an FSE media pool as follows:
1. Set the proper values of FSE media partitioning parameters in the media pool configuration file. Check
that all other parameters match the characteristics of your media.
2. Add the FSE media pool to the FSE implementation using the command:
Step 3: preparing HSM file systems
You need to prepare an HSM file system for each FSE partition that you plan to configure. For details, see
”Creating and preparing new HSM file systems” on page 67.
You can also include the existing non-HSM file systems in the FSE implementation. All data on such file
systems is preserved and put under the FSE control. For more information, see ”Integrating existing file
systems in the FSE implementation” on page 68.
Creating and preparing new HSM file systems
On Linux systems, HSM file systems must be located on LVM volumes. On Windows systems, HSM file
systems must be located on separate disk volumes.
Preparing HSM file systems on Linux platform
For detailed LVM configuration steps on Linux platform, see the FSE Installation Guide, section ”Preparing
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volumes” on page 29.
For steps for creating HSM file systems on top of LVM volumes, see the FSE Installation Guide, section
”Creating file systems on top of LVM logical volumes” on page 31.
The next step, configuring an FSE partition, is described in the FSE User’s Guide, section ”Configuring a
regular FSE partition on Linux platform” on page 69. For a WORM FSE partition configuration, see
”Configuring a WORM FSE partition” on page 71.
