Example of the required format of the volume ID is shown in this excerpt of the partition configuration
file:
4. 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.
5. Add the new FSE partition:
Once the partition is configured, a new Partition Manager is started for the newly configured partition.
6. Determine the name of the disk volume that belongs to the FSE partition using mountvol first, and
then invoke the following command:
The command will detach the automatically attached NTFS from the volume and allow it to be mounted
later as an HSM file system.
7. Optionally, check the status of the FSE partition and the belonging Partition Manager:
Configuring a WORM FSE partition
FSE provides an option to configure an HSM file system as a WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) file system.
The Type parameter in the FSE partition configuration file defines whether the type of a file system is
“regular” or “WORM”.
IMPORTANT: A WORM FSE partition cannot be changed to a regular FSE partition.
On an FSE WORM file system a file can be written only once but can be read many times. A WORM file
system prevents both files and their metadata, including access control rights and file attributes, from being
modified, regardless of access permissions. Consequently, it is not possible to remove files from directories
or rename them, but only to add new files.
# Where is the HSM file system?

{
# FileSystemID = _HSM_FS_MAJOR_:_HSM_FS_MINOR_
# e.g. 58:1, Linux client
FileSystemID="Volume{f6f3e1b6-b2ac-11d7-9c99-00b0d02fadef}"
# Windows client
Type = Regular
# Regular - regular read/write file system
# WORM - Write-Once-Read-Many file system
# uncomment and configure if Type = WORM :
# WORMTimeout = 450s
