if additional option – –force is given. Backup media in backup media

pool should be formatted, but not initialized.

• –F, – –force

Set forced mode for FSE medium remove, format, initialize, mark unreli-

able, mark unusable or mark good operation. There are three kinds of usage

of this option in combination with other options. This option will:

– if – –format option is given, allow formatting of non– empty FSE me-

dia if it is not referenced by FSC;

– if – –init option is given as the ﬁrst option after the command name,

allow initialization of non–empty FSE medium volumes if it is not

referenced by FSC;;

– if – –remove, ––mark–unreliable, ––mark– unusable or – –mark–

good option is given, skip FSE administrator’s conﬁrmation of FSE

medium removal, marking the medium unreliable, marking it unus-

able or marking it good; treat it as if FSE administrator would have

answered the conﬁrmation question with "Yes".

• –i, – –init

Initialize the speciﬁed or all FSE medium volumes on the FSE medium

with barcode Barcode. Initializing an FSE medium volume means (over–

)writing its volume header, thus preparing this volume for usage in the FSE

system.

Note:

FSE medium volume must be associated (via its FSE medium and FSE

media pool) to an FSE partition before it can be initialized. If the

medium volume is not empty, its initialization is allowed only if addi-

tional option – –force is given. Backup media should not be initialized,

but formatted only.

• – –no–monitor

Disable monitoring of the formatting, initialization, maintenance, or reor-

ganization job which is to be performed on the FSE medium. Monitoring is

enabled by default. See JOB PROGRESS MONITORING for details on

monitoring.
