Managing filesets

A fileset (except for the global fileset) is a subset of the entire SAN File System global namespace. It serves as the unit of workload for metadata servers and is also the unit that an administrator specifies to create FlashCopy® images that are used in backup procedures.

From a client perspective, a fileset appears to be a regular directory. Users and applications on SAN File System clients can create objects, such as directories and files, within the fileset.
