Policy for Balancing Capacity
Pausing All Rules in a Volume
CLI Storage-Management Guide 12-33
This pauses all of the volume’s rules, so that they stop all volume scans and
migrations. Clients may change files or directories so that they match a rule and
therefore should be migrated; these migrations are queued until policy processing is
resumed later. All file-placement rules continue to direct new files and directories to
their configured storage. (New objects are created at the correct share, so no
migrations are necessary.) Pausing has the same effect as an expired
duration on a
rule’s schedule; recall “Setting the Duration (optional)” on page 12-28.
For example, the following command pauses all rules in the “wwmed~/acct” volume:
bstnA6k(gbl)# end
bstnA6k# policy pause wwmed /acct
bstnA6k# ...
Resuming all Policies in a Volume
You can use the priv-exec form of no policy pause to immediately resume all rule
processing in a volume. This restarts rules that were paused from the priv-exec
command. This has no effect on scheduled policy pauses, described below.
no policy pause namespace vol-path
For example, the following command sequence un-pauses policy in the
“wwmed~/acct” volume:
bstnA6k(gbl)# end
bstnA6k# no policy pause wwmed /acct
bstnA6k# ...
