Filesets and storage pools

Filesets are not specifically related to storage pools, although each file in a fileset physically resides in blocks in a storage pool. This relationship is many-to-many; each file in the fileset can be stored in a different user storage pool. A storage pool can contain files from many filesets. However, all of the data for a particular file is wholly contained within one storage pool. The following illustration shows an example of the relationship between filesets and storage pools.


This figure illustrates an example of the relationship between filesets and storage pools.

When you create file placement policies, you can specify that all files created in a particular fileset are to be stored in a specific storage pool.
