Create a file pool policy

You can create a file pool policy to match specific files and apply SmartPools actions to the matched file pool. SmartPools actions include moving files to certain storage tiers, changing the requested protection levels, and optimizing write performance and data access.

CAUTION If existing file pool policies direct data to a specific storage pool, do not configure other file pool policies that match this data with anywhere for the --data-storage-target setting. Because the specified storage pool is included when you use anywhere, you should target specific storage pools to avoid unintentional file storage locations.
Run the isi filepool policies create command.
The following command creates a file pool policy that archives older files to a specific storage tier:
isi filepool policies create ARCHIVE_OLD
  --description "Move older files to archive storage"
  --data-storage-target ARCHIVE_TIER --data-ssd-strategy metadata
  --begin-filter --file-type=file --and --birth-time=2013-09-01
  --operator=lt --and --accessed-time=2013-12-01 --operator=lt
  --end-filter
The file pool policy is applied when the next scheduled SmartPools job runs. By default, the SmartPools job runs once a day; however, you can also start the SmartPools job manually.
