This topic describes how to create a fileset.
Prerequisites
You must have Administrator privileges to perform this task.
Context
Although
SAN File System allows you to create nested filesets,
avoid
creating nested filesets for these reasons:
- You cannot access a child fileset if the parent fileset is unavailable.
- You cannot revert a FlashCopy® image of a fileset that has nested
filesets attached to it (for example, if /fileset1/fileset2, you must detach
fileset2, revert to a FlashCopy image of fileset1, and then reattach
fileset2).
- You cannot make FlashCopy images of multiple filesets (whether the filesets
are siblings or nested) in one operation.
- Backup and restore of filesets that are used primarily by one platforms
should be performed on the primary platform. If the parent and nested filesets
are each used primarily by different platforms, you cannot effectively perform
backup and recovery from one platform.
Steps
- Click Manage Filing→Create a Fileset from
the My Work frame.
- Fill in the appropriate fields. Attention: Clicking
the Toggle Help Assistant button after entering values in the fields
will clear the fields.
- Click OK to create the fileset.
- Click Manage Filing→Filesets from
the My Work frame to verify that the fileset was created.
