•
Data tiering. This feature allows you to set a preferred tier where newly created files will be
stored. You can then create a tiering policy to move files from initial storage, based on file
attributes such as such as modification time, access time, file size, or file type. See
“Using
data tiering” (page 377) .
•
File allocation. This feature allocates new files and directories to segments according to the
allocation policy and segment preferences that are in effect for a client. An allocation policy
is an algorithm that determines the segments that are selected when clients write to a file
system. See
“Using file allocation” (page 391) .
Accessing file systems
Clients can use the following standard NAS protocols to access file system data:
•
NFS. See “Using NFS” (page 58) or more information.
•
SMB. See “Using SMB” (page 86) for more information.
•
FTP. See “Using FTP” (page 119) for more information.
•
HTTP. See “Using HTTP” (page 174) for more information.
You can also use StoreAll clients to access file systems. Typically, these clients are installed during
the initial system setup. See the
HP StoreAll Storage Installation Guide for more information.
