For details on how to integrate existing file systems on a particular platform, see the FSE Installation Guide,
appendix ”Integrating existing file systems in the FSE implementation”, section ”Integrating existing file
systems on Windows platform”.
The next step, configuring an FSE partition, is described in the FSE User’s Guide, section ”Configuring a
regular FSE partition on Windows platform” on page 70. For a WORM FSE partition configuration, see
”Configuring a WORM FSE partition” on page 71.
Step 4: configuring FSE partitions
NOTE: A particular FSE partition is related to a single HSM file system and one or more FSE media pools.
Configuring a regular FSE partition on Linux platform
After you have configured FSE media pools and prepared an HSM file system, you can configure FSE
partitions as follows:
1. The FSE partition configuration contains a major:minor number pair for the HSM file system. To get
these two parameters, enter the command below.
NOTE: If the file system is located on an FSE client, the command has to be run on the client
machine. It is mandatory to provide the information where the file system is located.
2. You can find the major number in the fifth column and the minor number in the sixth column; edit the
FSE partition configuration file accordingly.
3. Decide which FSE media pools should be assigned to the FSE partition, and specify an appropriate
value for the Pools variable in the configuration file.
CAUTION: Once migrations have already been running on the FSE partition, you cannot change
the set of FSE media pools that are assigned to the FSE partition any more.
