•The manual recall process has been started on the FSE client fse_client.company.com on the HSM file system mounted to the directory /mnt/fsefs01.

•Four files from the same directory were specified for recall.

•The parameter JobID has zero value. This indicates that no recall job has been created for these files, since none of them had a usable copy at the moment when the fsefile command was invoked.

Managing FSE recall jobs

The efficient recall process creates one FSE recall job for each FSE medium from which files will be recalled. In order to abort the recall process, you need to abort each particular recall job that was created for it. Similarly, you cannot change the overall recall priority, but you can increase or decrease priority of a single recall job at a time.

For details on monitoring FSE jobs, see section ”Monitoring FSE jobs” on page 157. For details on changing FSE job priority and aborting FSE jobs, see description of the fsejob command in the FSE CLI reference.

Retrieving detailed information

You can retrieve information related to configured FSE resources, files on HSM file systems, and FSE jobs using either FSE command-line interface (CLI) or the FSE Management Console.

NOTE: If you cannot find specific information using the FSE Management Console, try using FSE CLI instead. With certain FSE resources, FSE CLI enables retrieval of additional and more detailed information. Furthermore, files and older file generations on a particular HSM file system cannot be monitored with FSE Management Console.
