Setting file and directory allocation policies from the CLI

Allocation policy names are case sensitive and must be entered as uppercase letters (for example,
RANDOM).

Set a file allocation policy:

ibrix_fs_tune -f FSNAME {-h HOSTLIST|-g GROUPLIST} -s LVNAMELIST -p POLICY [-S STARTSEGNUM]

The following example sets the ROUNDROBIN policy for files only on the file system ifs1 on file
serving node s1.hp.com, starting at segment ilv1:

ibrix_fs_tune -f ifs1 -h s1.hp.com -p ROUNDROBIN -s ilv1

Set a directory allocation policy:

Include the -R option to specify that the command is for a directory.

ibrix_fs_tune -f FSNAME {-h HOSTLIST|-g GROUPLIST} -p POLICY [-S STARTSEGNUM] [-R]

The following example sets the ROUNDROBIN directory allocation policy on the file system ifs1
for file serving node s1.hp.com, starting at segment ilv1:

ibrix_fs_tune -f ifs1 -h s1.hp.com -p ROUNDROBIN -R

Setting segment preferences

There are two ways to prefer segments for file serving nodes, StoreAll clients, or hostgroups:

Prefer a pool of segments for the hosts to use.

Prefer a single segment for files created by a specific user or group on the clients.
