Apple Xsan 2 (Third Edition) - Manual (Page 58)

Changing a Folder’s Storage Pool Affinity
You can use Xsan Admin to change a folder’s affinity so all new files placed in the
folder are stored on a new storage pool.
To change a folder affinity:
1 In Xsan Admin, select File Management in the SAN Assets list.
2 Select the folder, choose Set Affinity from the Action (gear) pop-up menu, and then
choose the new affinity tag.
3 Click OK.
Files in the folder aren’t moved to the new storage pool. To move the files that were in
the folder to a storage pool with the new affinity tag, use the
snfsdefrag command in
Terminal. For information and an example, see the snfsdefrag man page.
Removing an Affinity
You can undo a folder’s affinity for a storage pool by choosing None for the folder
affinity.
To remove the affinity from a folder:
1 In Xsan Admin, select File Management in the SAN Assets list.
2 Select the folder, choose Set Affinity from the Action (gear) pop-up menu, and choose
None for the affinity.
