2.3.2 DESCRIPTION
COMMON USAGE fsebak command affects the core FSE components. Its
primary usage is from inside the fsebackup command and not as a stand–alone
tool, except on request of the FSE support personnel. In case of the latter, it
should be used with a maximum care as its usage can lead to improper FSE system
operation or no operation at all.
INTERNAL COMMAND OPERATION fsebak prepares Hierarchical Stor-
age Management Databases (HSMDB) and File System Catalogs (FSC) of all
configured FSE partitions for an eventual back–up procedure. To achieve such a
database consistency, operation of all currently running Partition Managers has to
be temporarily suspended. Duplicate copies of HSMDBs and FSCs may then be
created using other system commands. After a successful back–up creation Par-
tition Managers are unblocked using fsebak once again. This action restores the
normal FSE system operation.
Each FSE command communicates with the FSE system components through the
Management Interface (fse–mif). To execute an FSE command, the Management
