Migrating Filesets

Directing File Placement

14-12 CLI Storage-Management Guide

Each new file and directory, as in the previous example, follows its parent’s master

directory. Directory /a/b grows on das8 while new files in /a continue to gravitate to

das3:

In the

from fileset command, you can use match all to match both files and directories.

Keep the

promote-directories flag, to make the selected directories (such as /a/b/c)

“master” at the target filer. This causes the placement illustrated above:

from fileset fileset-name match all promote-directories

where

fileset-name (1-64 characters) identifies the source fileset,

match all applies the fileset to both files and directories, and

promote-directories promotes all matching directories on the target filer to

master.

For example, the following command set migrates the directories that match the

“a_b_tree” fileset:

bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace wwmed

bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# volume /acct

bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# place-rule mvtree
