FMSH addfile - this is obsolete command, use 'fmadd' instead

Once you manage to create your DSTs, use fmsh to catalogue them.

[hpna49-2] /tmp > fmsh -help

Usage: fmsh

fmsh [FATMEN command]

fmsh [-help] [-library] [-pool] tape [-n <number>]

fmsh [-help] [-library] [-pool] free <VID VID ...>

fmsh [-help] [-library] [-pool] list

fmsh [-help] [-library] [-pool] listpool <pool>

fmsh [-help] [-library] [-pool] addtape -tape <VID>

-fseq <n>

-dataset <//CERN/NA49/...>

-name <filename on tape>

-size <Mb>

-comment <'comment text'>

fmsh [-help] [-library] [-pool] addfile [-tape <VID>]

[-fseq <n>]

[-size <Mb>]

-file <file1,file2,...>

-dataset <//CERN/NA49/...>

-name <filename on tape>

-comment <'comment text'>

If we assume that you have a dst called mydst.ds in your

/shift/shift37/data17/vp/dst/users/dhammika/dst directory, you can use

the following command to add it to FATMAN:

cd /shift/shift37/data17/vp/dst/users/dhammika/dst

fmsh addfile -file mydst.ds \

-dataset //cern/na49/users/dhammika/my_dst.ds \

-name mydst.ds \

-comment 'This is my first DST'

This will allocate free tape, calculate file size and put your first file

on tape and enter dataset into FATMEN.

Now, if you already have a tape and one file on it, you can use:

fmsh addfile -file my_newdst.ds \

-tape <VID> -fseq 2 \

-dataset //cern/na49/users/dhammika/my_new_dst.ds \

-name my_newdst.ds \

-comment 'This is my second DST'

This is how you can use fmsh to store several DST files on one tape and

update the FATMEN catalogue:

tape=`fmsh tape`

for file in 1 2 3 4 5 6

do

fmsh addfile -file dst_$i.ds \

-tape $tape -fseq $i \

-dataset //cern/na49/users/dhammika/dst_$i.ds \

-name dst_$1.ds \

-comment 'DST file'

done

If you already have your own tapes which you would like to enter into FATMEN,

you can also use:

fmsh addtape -tape <VID> -fseq <n> \

-dataset <//CERN/NA49/...> -name <filename on tape> -size <Mb> \

-comment <'comment text'>
