NOTE: The option --forcewill allow formatting of the FSE medium only if there is no valid FSE user data stored on it (the value of Used[%] for all medium volumes is zero).

During formatting, the FSE medium is partitioned into FSE medium volumes.

5.Once the medium is formatted, you must initialize the FSE medium volumes created on it. For more information on the FSE medium volumes, see ”FSE medium volumes” on page 98.

For regular initialization use the following command:

fsemedium --init Barcode

For forced initialization use the following command:

fsemedium --init Barcode --force

NOTE: You can execute both formatting and initializing at once by using the command fsemedium --formatBarcode --init.

6.Repeat the steps 4 and 5 for each additional FSE medium that you want to format and/or initialize. Using the FSE graphical user interface, you prepare FSE media 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.Expand the container Media Pools, right-click the chosen FSE media pool, and then click New.

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

5.Click OK.

6.Repeat the steps 3, 4 and 5 for each additional FSE medium that you want to add.

7.Physically place the added FSE media into free library slots.

8.Expand the container Libraries, right-click the appropriate FSE library, and then click Rescan to trigger a physical inventory update (barcode rescan).

9.To format an FSE medium and initialize the FSE medium volumes on it, expand the container Media Pools, expand the chosen FSE media pool, right-click the chosen FSE medium, and click Format And Initialize.

CAUTION: Formatting and initialization erases all data on the medium.

In the Initialize and format medium window, select the appropriate options:

•In case the medium has already been formatted and used by the FSE implementation, you need to use the additional --forceoption.
