Policy for Balancing Capacity
Adding a Share Farm
CLI Storage-Management Guide 12-25
Not Constraining Directories
Use no constrain-directories to remove directory placement restrictions and have new
directories distributed as directed by one of the
balance commands.
no constrain-directories
For example:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace ns2
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[ns2])# volume /var
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[ns2~/var])# share-farm fm2
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-sfarm[ns2~/var~fm2])# no constrain-directories
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-sfarm[ns2~/var~fm2])# ...
Distributing When a Share is Unavailable
When new-file or new-directory distribution is constrained, a user may get an error if
one share in the farm is unavailable (offline or otherwise unusable). The share farm is
constrained to creating the new file or directory on the same share as its parent, so the
user gets a create error if that share goes offline. The unavailable share is removed
from the new-file-balancing rotation automatically, unless a constrain command is
used.
Enabling All Share-Farm Rules
The final step in configuring a share farm is to enable its rules. By default, the
share-farm and its rules are disabled and ignored by policy software. From
gbl-ns-vol-sfarm mode, use the
enable command to enable the share farm:
enable
For example, the following command sequence enables the ‘fm1’ share farm:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace wwmed
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# volume /acct
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# share-farm fm1
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-sfarm[wwmed~/acct~fm1])# enable
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-sfarm[wwmed~/acct~fm1])# ...
