Transition Between Tiered and SSD-Only Filesystems

This page describes how to transition from an SSD-only to a tiered filesystem, and vice versa.

Transition from SSD-Only Filesystem to Tiered Filesystem

An SSD-only filesystem can be reconfigured as a tiered filesystem by attaching an object store. In such a situation, the default is to maintain the filesystem size. In order to increase the filesystem size, the total capacity field can be modified, while the existing SSD capacity remains the same.

Transition from Tiered Filesystem to SSD-Only Filesystem

A tiered filesystem can be un-tiered (and only use SSDs) by detaching its object stores. This will copy the data back to the SSD.

For more information, refer to Attaching/Detaching Object Stores Overview.
