This topic describes how to configure filesets.
Fileset quotas provide a way for an administrator to specify how much space can be allocated to files within a specific fileset. The default value is set to allow unlimited capacity; however, you can specify an alert value for the fileset. If a quota value is specified, the default alert value is 80%. If no quota value is specified, the default alert value is 0 (no alerts). When the space allocated to files within the fileset reaches the percentage of the quota, as specified by the alert value, an SNMP alert is sent to the administrator. The administrator can also specify whether to use a hard or soft quota. If a hard quota is specified, allocations that cause a quota violation fail and an SNMP alert is sent. If a soft quota is specified, then the allocation is allowed to succeed and an SNMP alert is issued.
Filesets are statically bound to a metadata server. When filesets are created, the GUI or CLI specifies the metadata server name to which to bind the fileset along with other parameters. You can change fileset binding only by using the GUI or CLI command chfilesetserver.
