Associate New Data with New Relations

This procedure allows you to associate a DataClass group definition with a directory. All files and directories beneath the association point are included in and governed by the DataClass group parameters.

To add a DataClass group association to a directory, it must not be superior to or subordinate to any directory that already has a Directory-to-DataClass relationship.

If the subdirectories already have the same DataClass relationship, the association point can be rolled up. For more information, see “Change Relation Points” on page 2-17. The DataClass association point cannot be a directory in the root file system unless it is a mount point for a new file system.

The DataClass group associated with a directory also determines the media to which the files in that directory is migrated. The files in a migration directory are only migrated to media that contain files with the same DataClass group association.

After adding a new relation, run the fsdump command to associate any new data with the new relation (the new mount point).

Caution

Failure to run fsdump after adding relations may impact system performance.

Operaitng Tasks

The fsdump command creates an fs_dump.file that contains an entry for each associated directory and stored file in the file system. The fsaudit command uses the fs_dump.file to reconcile the restored files from the dump tape and the FileServ database.
