2.3 NAME

19

If the FSE administrator made sure that the HSMDB and FSC back–ups are stored on a safe medium, (s)he is advised to use value 0 (zero) in place of the StatusCode argument. This value means that all old transaction log files of HSMDBs and FSCs will be removed, as they are not needed any more. If any other value is used as the StatusCode, these transaction logs will be preserved and optionally used again, if needed.

2.3.3OPTIONS

–suspend

Prepare each HSMDB and FSC for backing up. This action temporarily sus- pends the normal FSE system operation in all running Partition Managers. See DESCRIPTION for details of this operation.

–continue

Unblock the FSE system operation using the value StatusCode. This en- ables the incoming job requests in all running Partition Managers and re- stores the normal FSE system operation.

StatusCode

The status code, which is used with the option –continue . See DESCRIP- TION for an explanation of the meaning and proper usage of this value.

–reserve–medium

Create a new administrative job for a backup purpose, print the interopera- ble object reference of the job and the name of the device where the back–up archive will be written. The administrative job is a dummy job: it only al- locates an FSE medium with the specified barcode Barcode from an FSE backup media pool and loads it into a free FSE drive. It then prints the device name of this FSE drive.

Barcode

Barcode of the FSE medium, which will be used to store the back–up archive. This medium has to be assigned to an FSE backup media pool.
