DESCRIPTION

       dpm-addpool defines a new disk pool.

       This command requires ADMIN privilege.

OPTIONS

pool_name
specifies the disk pool name. It must be at most
CA_MAXPOOLNAMELEN characters long.

defsize
specifies the default amount of space reserved for a file. This
is by default in bytes, but the number may also be post-fixed
with ’k’, ’M’ or ’G’ for kilobyte, Megabyte and Gigabyte
respectively.

def_lifetime
specifies the default time a space or volatile file is kept in
the system (in seconds).

defpintime
specifies the default time a file is kept on a given disk (in
seconds).

gc_start_thresh
specifies the minimum free space in the pool. If the percentage
of free space goes below this value, the garbage collector is
started. Default is 0.

gc_stop_thresh
specifies the percentage of free space in the pool above which
the garbage collector is stopped. Default is 0.

max_lifetime
specifies the maximum time a space or volatile file is kept in
the system (in seconds).

maxpintime
specifies the maximum time a file is kept on a given disk (in
seconds).

pool_gids
if not zero, the disk pool is restricted to this comma separated
list of group gids.

pool_groups
if set and not "ALL", the disk pool is restricted to this comma
separated list of group names.

retention_policy
specifies the retention policy supported by the disk pool. It
can be R (for Replica), O (for Output) or C (for Custodial).
Default is R.

space_type
indicates the type of space supported in the disk pool. It can
be V (for Volatile), D (for Durable), P (for Permanent) or - (to
accept any type). The latter is the default.

EXAMPLE

            dpm-addpool --poolname Volatile --def_filesize 200M --s_type V
