The next steps depend on the chosen FSE user interface.

To configure an FSE library and an FSE drive using the FSE command-line interface, proceed with the following steps:

2.Locate the directory with the FSE configuration templates. Linux specific

On the Linux platform, the full pathname of the directory with FSE configuration templates is

/opt/fse/newconfig. Windows specific

On the Windows platform, the full pathname of the directory with FSE configuration templates is %InstallPath%\newconfig. The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

3.Make local copies of the FSE library The respective templates are named

configuration template and the FSE drive configuration template. fse-library.cfgand fse-drive.cfg.

4.Edit the local copies of the FSE library configuration file template and the FSE drive configuration file template, and configure the appropriate parameter values. Use the values you obtained in step 1 and verify that all other parameters match the characteristics of your tape library and tape drive.

For an FSE library, you need to configure the following parameters in its configuration file:

•Name

•Host

•ControlDevice

•LibType

•MediaFamily

•Slots

For an FSE drive, you need to configure the following parameters in its configuration file:

•Name

•Library

•MediaFamily
