Changing a Folder’s Storage Pool Affinity
You can use Xsan Admin to change a folder’s affinity so all new files placed in the
folder are stored on a new storage pool.
To change a folder affinity:
1
In Xsan Admin, select File Management in the SAN Assets list.
2
Select the folder, choose Set Affinity from the Action (gear) pop-up menu, and then
choose the new affinity tag.
3
Click OK.
Files in the folder aren’t moved to the new storage pool. To move the files that were in
the folder to a storage pool with the new affinity tag, use the
snfsdefrag
command in
Terminal. For information and an example, see the
snfsdefrag
man page.
