Configuring Relocation Policies
Chapter 10154
Option Description
-n count Sets a limit for the maximum number of files for the fsmove utility to
relocate.
-p policy Evaluates files based on the specified policy only. If not specified, fssweep
evaluates files based on all configured policies.
-r Reports a statistical summary of files that can be relocated to standard
output without actually relocating any files. The report is the same as the
fsmove statistical summary.
-s size Sets a limit for the cumulative size of all files in kilobytes for the fsmove
utility to relocate.
-t time Sets a limit for the cumulative time in seconds for running fssweep.
filesystem Evaluates files only in the specified filesystem. If you do not specify
filesystem, fssweep evaluates all multi-volume file systems defined in the
configuration file, starting at their mount points.
Running fsmove
The fsmove command uses the following syntax:
fsmove [destination path1 [path2,path3,...]
The fsmove utility relocates files to a destination component volume. The destination
component volume and the files or directories are specified by the fssweep utility. The
fsmove utility reads standard input and moves all files it reads from the output stream.
If you specify an optional destination and one or more path names, the fsmove utility moves
the specified file or files to the destination component volume and exits. If you specify a
directory, fsmove recursively searches through all files and subdirectories in the specified
directory and moves all the files to the specified destination component volume.
The fsmove Command Options
Option Description
destination Specifies a destination component volume for the specified file or directory.
path Specifies directory or file names to relocate to a destination volume.
After the command completes processing, it writes a statistical summary with the following
headings to standard output:
