The differences between configuration files for WORM FSE partitions located on Linux and Windows host
are the same as with regular FSE partitions.
Phase 5: preparing FSE media
Once all other FSE resources except FSE media are configured, follow the procedures below to prepare
FSE media. For specifics on preparing disk media, see ”Disk media specifics” on page 101.
NOTE: A particular FSE medium is related to a single FSE media pool, single FSE partition, and single
FSE library.
Using the FSE command-line interface, you prepare FSE media as follows:
1. Create an entry for the FSE medium and add it to an already configured media pool:
2. Repeat the step 1 for each additional FSE medium that you want to add.
3. Physically place the added FSE media into free library slots, and then trigger a physical inventory
update (barcode rescan):
4. Format the first medium using the command below. If the medium is already properly formatted
(partitioned), skip this step and proceed with initialization.
CAUTION: Formatting erases all data on the medium.
In case the medium has already been formatted and used by the FSE implementation, you need to use
the additional --force option:
Type = WORM
# Regular - regular read/write file system
# WORM - Write-Once-Read-Many file system
# uncomment and configure if Type = WORM :
WORMTimeout = 60s
}
#
# Specify which media pool(s) will be used for storing data to.
#
# NOTE: The number of pools specified defines the number of copies to
# be done.
#
Pools = ("MyWORMPool1", "MyWORMPool2")
fsemedium --add Barcode --pool PoolName
