This page describes how to view and manage filesystem groups using the CLI.

PreviousManage filesystem groups using the GUINextManage filesystems

Last updated 2 months ago

Using the CLI, you can perform the following actions:

View filesystem groups

Command: weka fs group

Use this command to view information on the filesystem groups in the WEKA system.

Add a filesystem group

Command: weka fs group add

Use the following command to add a filesystem group:

weka fs group add <name> [--target-ssd-retention=<target-ssd-retention>] [--start-demote=<start-demote>]

Parameters

Name
Value
Default

name*

Set a meaningful name for the filesystem group.

​

target-ssd-retention

The time for keeping data on the SSD after it is copied to the object store. After this period, the copy of the data is deleted from the SSD. Format: 3s, 2h, 4m, 1d, 1d5h, 1w.

1d

start-demote

The time to wait after the last update before the data is copied from the SSD and sent to the object store. Format: 3s, 2h, 4m, 1d, 1d5h, 1w.

Edit a filesystem group

Command: weka fs group update

Use the following command to edit a filesystem group:

weka fs group update <name> [--new-name=<new-name>] [--target-ssd-retention=<target-ssd-retention>] [--start-demote=<start-demote>]

Parameters

Name
Value

name*

Name of the filesystem group to edit. It must be a valid name.

new-name

New name for the filesystem group.

target-ssd-retention
