Removing an Affinity

The way you remove an affinity depends on whether the affected folder is at the top

level of the volume or inside another folder.

To remove a storage pool affinity from a folder:

1

If the folder is at the top level of the volume (not within another folder), open Xsan

Admin, select the volume, click Affinities, double-click the folder and choose Any

Storage Pool from the Storage Pool Affinity pop-up menu.

If the folder is inside another folder on the volume, continue with the next step.

2

Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/).

3

If you are not working at a SAN controller, use SSH to log in to the controller remotely:

$ ssh user@computer

where

user

is an administrator user on the controller computer and

computer

is the

controller’s name or IP address.

4

In Terminal, type

$ sudo cvmkdir -k ““ path

where

path

is the full path to the folder on the volume.
