Adding an Affinity

Adding an Affinity

This procedure lets you set stripe group affinities for assigning file locations to a specific file system stripe group. All subsequent allocations to a file that have been assigned a valid stripe group affinity will occur on the specified stripe group.

Affinities may also be assigned to files and directories using the cvaffinity command. For more information about the cvaffinity command, refer to the CLI Reference Guide.

1Unmount the file system by typing the following: umount <mount_point>

where the <mount_point> is where you have mounted the SNFS. For example: umount /stornext/snfs1

2Use cvadmin to stop the file system by typing the following:

/usr/cvfs/bin/cvadmin

snadmin> stop <file_system_name>

(where the <file_system_name> is the file system to which the affinity will be added.)

snadmin> quit

3Using a text editor, open the file system configuration file

(<file_system_name>.cfg), where <file_system_name> is the name of the file system.
