6.3 HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide (TA768-96093, June 2013)

Configuring additional file system options
The New Filesystem wizard creates the file system with the default settings for several options. You
can change these settings on the Modify Filesystem Properties dialog box, and can also configure
data retention, data tiering, and file allocation. To open the dialog box, select the file system on
the Filesystems panel. Select Summary from the lower Navigator, and then click Modify on the
Summary panel.
The General tab allows you to enable or disable quotas, Export Control, and 32-bit compatibility
mode on the file system.
When Export Control is enabled on a file system, by default, StoreAll clients have no access to the
file system. Instead, the system administrator grants the clients access by executing the
ibrix_mount command. Enabling Export Control does not affect file-system access by file serving
nodes or any NFS/SMB clients attached to the nodes. File serving nodes always have RW access.
By default, file systems are created in 64-bit mode. If clients need to run a 32-bit application, you
can enable 32-bit compatibility mode. This option is applied to the file system at mount time and
can be enabled or disabled as necessary.
The Data Retention tab allows you to change the data retention configuration. The file system must
be unmounted. See “Configuring data retention on existing file systems” (page 201) for more
information.
NOTE: Data retention cannot be enabled on a file system created on StoreAll software 5.6 or
earlier versions until the file system is upgraded.
The Allocation, Segment Preference, and Host Allocation tabs are used to modify file allocation
policies and to specify segment preferences for file serving nodes and StoreAll clients. See “Using
file allocation” (page 279) for more information.
