Interface must be running. If the connection to the Management Interface fails, check its status by running the fse status command. In case the Management Interface is not running, start it with the fse start command. Additionally, the Partition Manager processes (fse–pm) for all configured FSE partitions must be running. This can be checked with the fsesystem command.

After successful command execution, fsebak notifies the FSE administrator with a suitable message, which is printed to the standard output stream (stdout). If there was an error during command’s execution, an appropriate error message is printed to the standard error stream (stderr).

ACHIEVING THE FSE DATABASE CONSISTENCY fsebak – –suspend

follows for each running Partition Manager the following procedure:

•block the incoming job requests in Partition Manager;

•make the corresponding HSMDB and FSC incorporate all changes from their transaction logs into the main database files;

•write temporary files hsm.ref and fsc.ref with references to HSMDB and

FSC for use with the – –continueoption;

• report action success or failure.

Note:

Contents of hsm.ref and fsc.ref files may not be directly altered in any way.

If all these steps were successfully completed, duplicate copies of HSMDB and FSC can be made. Usually they are created with the fsebackup command. See the fsebackup man page for details.

RESUMING A NORMAL FSE SYSTEM OPERATION fsebak – –continue

StatusCode follows for each running Partition Manager the following procedure:

•read references to HSMDB and FSC from files hsm.ref and fsc.ref ) and delete these two files;

•start accepting incoming job requests in Partition Manager and resume nor- mal operation.
