For an FSE media pool consisting of disk media, you need to configure the following parameters in its configuration file:

•Name

•MediaFamily

•PoolType

•BlockSize

•VolumeSize

4.Add the new FSE pool to the FSE implementation. MediaPoolCfgFileName is the name of the local copy of the FSE pool configuration template:

fsepool --addMediaPoolCfgFileName

Using the FSE graphical user interface, you configure an FSE media pool as follows:

1.Start an interactive session with the FSE Management Console client.

For details, see section ”Using the FSE Management Console for configuring resources and policies” on page 42.

2.If not already connected, choose the online operational mode and connect to the FSE Management Console server.

For details, see section ”Choosing online operational mode” on page 43.

3.Right-click the container Media Pools, click New, and then click Manual.

4.In the [ New MediaPool ] - Creation window, enter the required parameter values into the available text fields.
