bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace wwmed
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# volume /acct
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# place-rule docs2das8
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-plc[wwmed~/acct~docs2das8])# enable tentative
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-plc[wwmed~/acct~docs2das8])# ...
Disabling the Rule
Disabling the rule removes it from consideration. Use no enable from gbl-ns-vol-plc
mode to disable a placement rule.
no enable
For example, the following command sequence disables the “docs2das8” rule:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace wwmed
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# volume /acct
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# place-rule docs2das8
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-plc[wwmed~/acct~docs2das8])# no enable
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-plc[wwmed~/acct~docs2das8])# ...
Showing the Effects of File Placement
A file-placement rule moves files and/or directories to new shares. To show the
effects of the file-placement rule, you can run an nsck report:
nsck namespace
metadata-only
shows file/directory locations on back-end shares
You can invoke this command from priv-exec mode. It generates a report file that you
can see with
show reports. The metadata-only report is named “metadata_only.id.rpt”
by default, where id identifies the nsck job. Use
show, tail, or grep to view the
contents of the report. See “Showing Metadata” on page 5-7 of the CLI Maintenance
Guide for full details on all
nsck report commands and their report formats.
