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. Figure 1 shows an example of the relationship between filesets and storage pools.

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

Using file-placement policies, you can specify that all files created in a particular fileset are to be stored in a specific storage pool. Using file-management policies, you can define how files in a specific fileset are to be moved or deleted during the file's life cycle.
