This topic describes how to create a fileset.
Prerequisites
You must have Administrator privileges to perform this task.
Context
Although SAN File System allows you to create nested filesets,
you
might want to avoid creating nested filesets for these reasons:
- You cannot access a child fileset if the parent fileset is unavailable.
- You cannot revert a FlashCopy® image of a fileset that has nested filesets
attached to it (for example, if /fileset1/fileset2, you must detach fileset2,
revert to a FlashCopy image
of fileset1, and then reattach fileset2).
- You cannot make FlashCopy images of multiple filesets (whether
the filesets are siblings or nested) in one operation.
- Backup and restore of filesets that are used primarily by one platform
should be performed on the primary platform. If the parent and nested filesets
are each used primarily by different platforms, you cannot effectively perform
backup and recovery from one platform.
Steps
- Click from the My Work frame.
- Fill in the appropriate fields. Attention: Clicking
the Toggle Help Assistant button after entering values
in the fields will clear the fields.
- Click OK to create the fileset.
- Click from the My Work frame to verify that the fileset was created.
