3.To configure a new media pool, apply the modified template: fsepool --addMediaPoolCfgFile

You have configured a new FSE media pool. Its configuration is stored in the Configuration Database as the first respective configuration revision. For more information, see ”Configuration Database” on page 39.

Once the media pool is configured, you need to add media that you want to use for FSE operation to this pool, as described in ”Adding media to an FSE media pool” on page 102.

Determining the configured media pools

You can determine the attributes of all configured media pools in the FSE implementation by running the following command:

fsepool --list [--detail]
