6.5 HP StoreAll OS User Guide
Examples of supported EQWSI queries:
• size > tiny
• crtime >= 2013-12-24
• atime < 2013-12-24
• dtime <= 2013-12-24
• rstate = 4
• mode = aLL
• mkey != Engineering
• mval=Genetics
Additional requirements for EQWSI queries
Keep in mind the following additional requirements for EQWSI queries:
• HTTP share settings. If any of the HTTP share settings are changed, such as the URL path, the
OSDX file must be re-created from the StoreAll Management Console or CLI; otherwise, the
EQWSI queries will fail.
• Cluster settings. The metadata service must be running in the cluster for EQWSI queries to be
functional.
Usage of multiple keywords in a query
EQWSI supports the usage of multiple keyword-value pairs in the same query so that you can
search for files and directories based on multiple metadata conditions.
The multiple keyword-value pair must be separated by a space. This is equivalent to an AND
operation.
All rules applicable to single keyword-value pair queries are also applicable to each keyword-value
pair in these queries.
Keep in mind the following when framing a query with multiple keywords:
• EQWSI does not support the usage of the same keyword multiple times in the same query.
As a result, the user will be unable to search for files with metadata values in a particular
range. For example, the query “crtime > 2012-01-01 crtime < 2013-01-01” is not supported.
• The “dtime” keyword is not supported in a multiple keyword EQWSI query. The “dtime”
keyword is supported with only single keyword EQWSI queries.
• If mtime, atime and ctime are part of an EQWSI query, then mtime takes precedence over
atime or ctime keywords. That is, atime and ctime are ignored in the search criteria.
• If atime and ctime are part of an EQWSI query, then ctime takes precedence over atime. That
is, atime is ignored in the search criteria.
• No results are returned by an EQWSI search if rstate and mode=dir are included in a single
EQWSI query, as designed.
• No results are returned by an EQWSI search if rxtime and mode=dir are included in a single
EQWSI query, as designed.
Examples of supported EQWSI queries involving multiple keywords:
• size > HUGE crtime >= 2012-12-24 mode=File
• mkey = Engineering mval=Genetics mode=ALL
• rxtime >= 2013-01-01 mkey=”StoreAll” mtime = 2013-02-02 rstate=2
• mode = dir dtime <= 2012-12-31 rstate=0 mval=”NAS” ctime > 2012-04-21
