must be running. If the connection to the Management Interface fails, check its status by running the fse – –statuscommand. In case the Management Interface is not running, start it with the fse – –startcommand.

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

2.5.3OPTIONS

•–a ,– –add

Conﬁgure a new FSE drive with parameters, written in the conﬁguration ﬁle ConﬁgFileName . This action checks the validity of the conﬁguration ﬁle, copies the ﬁle to Conﬁguration Database and inserts the parameter values into Resource Management Database. FSE drive names are unique within the FSE implementation.

•ConﬁgFileName

The name of the FSE drive conﬁguration ﬁle to use.

•–r ,– –remove

Remove an existing FSE drive from the FSE system. This includes re-

moval of all conﬁguration ﬁle revisions of this FSE drive from Conﬁgu- ration Database. Note that unless additional option – –forceis speciﬁed, the command demands FSE administrator’s conﬁrmation before perform- ing this operation. Default answer to the conﬁrmation question is "No".

•Name

The name of the FSE drive to manage conﬁguration for.

•–F ,– –force

Set forced mode for FSE drive remove or disable operation. In this mode, FSE administrator’s conﬁrmation of FSE drive removal or disabling is skipped. The command treats it as if FSE administrator would have an-
