Policies for automating file management
GPFS™ provides a means to automate the management of files using policies and rules. Properly managing your files allows you to efficiently use and balance your premium and less expensive storage resources.
GPFS supports these policies:
- File placement policies are used to automatically place newly created files in a specific storage pool.
- File management policies are used to manage files during their lifecycle by moving them to another storage pool, moving them to near-line storage, copying them to archival storage, changing their replication status, or deleting them.
You can create and manage policies and policy rules with both the command line interface and the GUI. In the GUI, navigate to .
