DESCRIPTION
dpm-addpool defines a new disk pool.
This command requires ADMIN privilege.
OPTIONS
- pool_name
- specifies the disk pool name. It must be at most CA_MAXPOOLNAMELEN characters long.
- defsize
- specifies the default amount of space reserved for a file. This is by default in bytes, but the number may also be post-fixed with 'k', 'M' or 'G' for kilobyte, Megabyte and Gigabyte respectively.
- def_lifetime
- specifies the default time a space or volatile file is kept in the system (in seconds).
- defpintime
- specifies the default time a file is kept on a given disk (in seconds).
- gc_start_thresh
- specifies the minimum free space in the pool. If the percentage of free space goes below this value, the garbage collector is started. Default is 0.
- gc_stop_thresh
- specifies the percentage of free space in the pool above which the garbage collector is stopped. Default is 0.
- max_lifetime
- specifies the maximum time a space or volatile file is kept in the system (in seconds).
- maxpintime
- specifies the maximum time a file is kept on a given disk (in seconds).
- pool_gids
- if not zero, the disk pool is restricted to this comma separated list of group gids.
- pool_groups
- if set and not "ALL", the disk pool is restricted to this comma separated list of group names.
- retention_policy
- specifies the retention policy supported by the disk pool. It can be R (for Replica), O (for Output) or C (for Custodial). Default is R.
- space_type
- indicates the type of space supported in the disk pool. It can be V (for Volatile), D (for Durable), P (for Permanent) or - (to accept any type). The latter is the default.
EXAMPLE
dpm-addpool --poolname Volatile --def_filesize 200M --s_type V
