–O ,–pool

Assign a new FSE medium with barcode Barcode to the FSE media pool PoolName. This option can only be used in combination with the –addoption.

PoolName

The name of the FSE media pool to add new medium to.

–r ,–remove

Remove an existing FSE medium from the FSE system. This is possible if all FSE medium volumes on the medium are empty. Note that unless additional option –forceis specified, the command demands FSE admin- istrator’s confirmation before performing this operation. Default answer to the confirmation question is "No".

–l ,–list

If this option is used alone it list barcodes and status information of the

FSE media that is configured within the FSE implementation. If additional argument Barcode with the –volumeoption is specified then it shows the status of all medium volumes on medium with the specified barcode. If the argument combination –list–volumeis used then the status of all medium volumes on all configured FSE media is displayed. Reported status information for an FSE medium includes:

1.Barcode .......... medium barcode,

2.Type .......... medium type (AIT–1, AIT–2, AIT–3, SAIT–1, LTO 1, LTO 2, LTO 3, DDS, disk, unknown),

3.Pool .......... name of FSE media pool the medium belongs to,

4.Status .......... current status of the medium (uninitialized, free, open, in use, full, unreliable, unusable, unknown),

5.Location .......... current location of the medium in an FSE library slot (library name and slot number) or in an FSE drive (drive name),

6.#Vol .......... number of volumes on the medium,

7.SysVolNo .......... index of system volume (value 0 is displayed if it is not present).
