Recalls files from the cloud, restoring the full files to their original directories. To make sure that the specified files are present in the cloud, OneFS scans the cluster for SmartLink files prior to performing the recall.
You can also provide a file matching filter to specify a set of files to act on. The basic syntax follows. For a full description on file matching criteria, use
man isi-file-matching on the command line.
Options
<files>
The files to recall. For multiple specifications, use
--files for each additional file name entry.
[--begin-filter]
<criteria> [--end-filter]
A file matching filter that defines a set of files to act on. For a description of
<criteria> and valid operators to use in the filter, enter
man isi-file-matching on the command line.
{--recursive |
-r} {yes |
no}
Specifies whether the recall should apply recursively to nested subdirectories.
{--verbose |
-v}
Displays more detailed information about the operation.
Usage
The
isi cloud recall command restores the full file to its original directory, and overwrites the associated SmartLink file. If the file pool policy that originally archived the file to the cloud is still in effect, the next time the SmartPools job runs, the recalled file is archived to the cloud again. If you do not want the recalled file to be re-archived, you can move the file to a different directory that would not be affected by the file pool policy, or you can modify or delete the policy.
Examples
The following example recalls all files from the cloud for a directory and its subdirectories:
