Viewing information about a file

This topic describes how to display metadata information about specified files.

Context

You can display metadata information about one or more files, such as its storage pool, fileset, metadata server, size, and date and time last modified.

Steps

To display metadata information about a file, use the statfile command from the administrative CLI. You can use this command to check if policies are being applied as you expect by seeing in which storage pool a particular file is stored. You can also display file metadata information when you use the SAN File System console to move data files by clicking Manage Filing > Move Data Files from the My Work frame.
