Draining One or More Shares
You can move all files from one share (or share farm) to one or more other shares in
the same volume. A placement rule accomplishes this, and prevents any new files
from being created on the source share(s). This is a method to prepare one or more
shares for removal without affecting any clients.
From gbl-ns-vol mode, use
place-rule to create a new placement rule:
place-rule name
where name (1-64 characters) is a name you choose for the rule.
This puts you into gbl-ns-vol-plc mode, where you must choose a source share or
share farm, set the storage target for the files, and enable the rule. There are also some
optional commands you can invoke from this mode.
For example, the following command sequence creates an empty placement rule,
“emptyRH,” for the namespace, “wwmed:”
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace wwmed
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# volume /acct
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# place-rule emptyRH
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-plc[wwmed~/acct~emptyRH])# ...
