FSE commands have the following characteristics:

•One command per FSE resource

FSE commands are based on a principle of one command per FSE resource, for example fsepartition, fsepool, fsemedium, fselibrary, fsedrive, and so on.

•Common options

The majority of FSE commands have similar options, for example --help, --add, --modify,

--remove,--list,--show,--status, and so on.

•Short and long option variants

FSE commands accept short (-o) and long (--option) formats of options. For example, the -aand --addoptions have the same effect.

NOTE: Some of the long command options do not have short variants, and vice versa.

•Location Linux specific

On Linux platform, FSE commands are located in the /opt/fse/sbin directory. Windows specific

On Windows platform, FSE commands are located in the %InstallPath%\bin directory.

The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

•Documentation

FSE commands are documented in two formats. Both formats have the same contents: a detailed description of FSE commands, their options, arguments, invocation syntax, operation, and usage examples. The FSE command documentation formats are the following:

•Printed format: a separate manual called FSE CLI reference

•Online format: an online version of the FSE CLI reference

For details on how to read the online FSE command-line reference, see ”Accessing the online FSE command-line reference” on page 23

The following table lists all FSE commands with a brief description. For a detailed description of command functionality and invocation syntax, see the FSE CLI reference, or use the online FSE command-line reference as described in ”Accessing the online FSE command-line reference” on page 23.
