HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share - Manual (Page 129)

Managing space on OST services 5–45
3. Start the file system(s).
When new files are created,
ost3
and
ost7
will not be used to store new files. However, access to existing
files on the OST service (for both read and write operations) is unaffected, and the OST service can continue
to grow in size.
You can rebalance storage across OST services by copying any large files to files with new names and then
deleting the old files. The new files will not use the deactivated OST services. For more information, refer to
the Dealing with ENOSPC or EIO errors section in Chapter 6 of the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share
Client Installation and User Guide.
When an OST service is deactivated, the
show filesystem filesystem_name
command displays a
hash or pound sign (
#
) beside the
Service State
for the service.
To reactivate an OST service so that it will again be used to store new files, stop the file system, use the
activate osts
command to activate the OST service and then start the file system again.
