6.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference (TA768-96057, June 2012)

Create a file system from the specified physical volumes in one step:
ibrix_fs -c -f FSNAME -p PVLIST [-a] [-q] [-o
OPTION1=VALUE1,OPTION2=VALUE2,...] [-t TIERNAME]
The file system is created from the physical volumes in PVLIST. One volume group is created per
physical volume. Segments are then created from the volume groups and assigned to file serving
nodes in a round-robin manner.
Create a file system and enable data retention: Use an ibrix_fs -c command with the following
-o options:
-o "retenMode=<mode>,retenDefPeriod=<period>,retenMinPeriod=<period>,
retenMaxPeriod=<period>,retenAutoCommitPeriod=<period>"
The retenMode option is required and is either enterprise or relaxed. You can specify any,
all, or none of the period options. retenDefPeriod is the default retention period,
retenMinPeriod is the minimum retention period, and retenMaxPeriod is the maximum
retention period.
The retenAutoCommitPeriod option specifies that files will become WORM or WORM-retained
if they are not changed during the specified period. (If the default retention period is set to zero,
the files become WORM. If the default retention period is set to a value greater than zero, the files
become WORM-retained.) The minimum value for the autocommit period is five minutes, and the
maximum value is one year. When autocommit is used, you do not need to manually set a file to
read-only to make it a WORM file. If you plan to keep normal files on the file system, do not set
the autocommit period.
When using a period option, enter a decimal number, optionally followed by one of these
characters:
• s (seconds)
• m (minutes)
• h (hours)
• d (days)
• w (weeks)
• M (months)
• y (years)
If you do not include a character specifier, the decimal number is interpreted as seconds.
When included in an ibrix_fs -c command, the following example creates a file system with
Enterprise mode retention, with a default retention period of 1 month, a minimum retention period
of 3 days, a maximum retention period of 5 years, and an autocommit period of 1hour:
-o "retenMode=enterprise,retenDefPeriod=1M,retenMinPeriod=3d,
retenMaxPeriod=5y, retenAutoCommitPeriod=1h"
Other options for creating a file system
The following options can be used with any of the create commands:
-a
Create a mountpoint with the same name as the file system and then mount the file system.
-q
Enable quotas on the file system.
-t TIERNAME
Assign the file-system segments to the specified tier.
