Manipulating Affinity Tags (cvaffinity)
Use the
cvaffinity
command to assign an affinity tag to a folder or a file or to list the
affinity tag assigned to a folder or a file.
Assigning an affinity tag to a folder or file causes it to be stored on a storage pool that
has the same affinity tag. You can see the affinity tags for available storage pools by
using the
show long
command of the
cvadmin
tool.
To set an affinity tag for a folder or file:
$ cvaffinity -s affinity target
To list the affinity tag assigned to a folder or file:
$ cvaffinity -l target
To delete the affinity tag from a folder or file:
$ cvaffinity -d target
