Use only forward slashes (/) in the directory path for delimiters.
This directory must already exist.
The directory must not contain backslash (\) or forward slash (/) characters as delimiters.
The attach point (location/directory_name) appears as a drive and directory on clients for Windows® or as a file system for clients based on UNIX®. It is recommended that you map the name of the directory to its associated fileset by using the same name as the fileset plus an additional suffix to distinguish it as the directory and not the fileset. For example, if you want to attach the fileset named work to the root of the global namespace, you would specify "sanfs" for the location and specify "work_ap" for the directory_name. On a client for Windows, the "work_ap" directory would appear under the "sanfs" drive.
You must have Administrator privileges to use the command.
You must be logged in to the operating system on the engine hosting the master metadata server to run this command.
You make a fileset part of the global namespace by attaching it to a specific location. To a client, this attach point looks like a regular directory.
sfscli> attachfileset -attach sanfs/homes -dir cntA_ap cntA Fileset cntA attached to directory sanfs/homes/cntA_ap.
