File Pool Administration Overview

This chapter defines the terms and concepts used to administer one or more file pool servers. It also provides an overview that a system administrator needs to know to administer one or more file pools. File pool servers provide repository services for Shared File Systems (SFS) and OpenExtensions Byte File System (BFS). Additional file pool services are provided for Coordinated Resource Recovery (CRR). An additional file pool service for optimizing the performance of BFS FIFO objects can also involve the administration of some specialized FIFO file pool services.
