Chapter 14
Migrating Filesets
A fileset is a group of files and/or directories to which you can apply replication and
migration policies. This chapter explains how to configure policies for migrating
filesets to desired back-end storage.
Direct volumes, which contain no metadata, do not support any filesets. This chapter
is relevant to managed volumes only.
Before You Begin
You must create one or more filesets for the fileset policy. See Chapter 13, Grouping
Files into Filesets.
Concepts and Terminology
When files migrate from one share to another, their parent directories are duplicated
on the destination share. The directories are said to be striped across the two shares.
The original directory, the one that was first-imported, is called the master directory.
A new file or directory goes to its parent’s master directory by default, so that
directory trees tend to grow on a single back-end share.
