Matching Directories Only
Consider a directory tree on a filer that is filled to a comfortable level, but clients are
likely to add subdirectories that may overfill the share. You want all new
subdirectories to be created on a new filer and grow there, but existing files and
directories can stay. Also, new files in the existing directories can stay on the original
filer.
You can use the
from fileset command to select directories only, so that the fileset’s
criteria is not applied to any files. This steers new directories to das8. Old directories
keep their masters on das3, but new directories are created at das8 and therefore have
their masters there. Files are not matched, so none of the existing files migrate. The
initial run of the rule does nothing:
/acct (volume)
wwmed (namespace)
/a
/a/b
das3 das8
/a
/a/b
Before
/acct
wwmed
/a
/a/b
das3 das8
After 1st Migration
/a
/a/b
