autofilesetserver

Makes a fileset that is statically assigned to a metadata server become a dynamic fileset. This might result in the fileset being reassigned to another metadata server if required by dynamic load-balancing.

Parameters

–? | –h | –help
Displays a detailed description of this command, including syntax, parameter descriptions, and examples. If you specify a help option, all other command options are ignored.
fileset_name
Specifies the names of one or more filesets to become dynamic filesets.
Specifies that in single-shot command mode you want this command to receive from the input stream (stdin) the names of one or more filesets to reassign.

Prerequisites

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.

The current metadata server must be in one of the following states:
  • Online
  • Not running
  • Offline

Description

This command has no impact on dynamically assigned filesets. When a static fileset is specified with this command, SAN File System marks the fileset as dynamic and assigns the fileset to a new metadata server, if required, to achieve a balanced load.

Example

Change static filesets to dynamic filesets The following example converts two statically assigned filesets (cnt_A and cnt_B) to dynamic filesets:
sfscli> autofilesetserver cnt_A cnt_B
Automatic server assignment for cnt_A is enabled.
Automatic server assignment for cnt_B is enabled.
