FSE commands have the following characteristics:
• One command per FSE resource
FSE commands are based on a principle of one command per FSE resource, for example
fsepartition, fsepool, fsemedium, fselibrary, fsedrive, and so on.
• Common options
The majority of FSE commands have similar options, for example --help, --add, --modify,
--remove, --list, --show, --status, and so on.
• Short and long option variants
FSE commands accept short (-o) and long (--option) formats of options. For example, the -a and
--add options have the same effect.
NOTE: Some of the long command options do not have short variants, and vice versa.
• Location
Linux specific
On Linux platform, FSE commands are located in the /opt/fse/sbin directory.
Windows specific
On Windows platform, FSE commands are located in the %InstallPath%\bin directory.
The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults
to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.
• Documentation
FSE commands are documented in two formats. Both formats have the same contents: a detailed
description of FSE commands, their options, arguments, invocation syntax, operation, and usage
examples. The FSE command documentation formats are the following:
• Printed format: a separate manual called FSE CLI reference
• Online format: an online version of the FSE CLI reference
For details on how to read the online FSE command-line reference, see ”Accessing the online FSE
command-line reference” on page 23
FSE command list
The following table lists all FSE commands with a brief description. For a detailed description of command
functionality and invocation syntax, see the FSE CLI reference, or use the online FSE command-line
reference as described in ”Accessing the online FSE command-line reference” on page 23.
