PowerScale OneFS 9.8.0.0 Web Administration Guide

Create a node class compatibility

OneFS automatically adds a new node of the same equivalence class to an existing node pool. For new nodes that are not equivalence-class, you can create a node class compatibility to add these nodes to an existing node pool.

1. Select File System > Storage Pools > SmartPools.
   The SmartPools tab displays two lists: Tiers & Node Pools and Compatibilities.
2. Click Create a compatibility.
   The Create a Compatibility dialog box displays a drop-down list of compatibility types.
3. From the Compatibility Type list, select Node Class.
   Two additional drop-down lists are added, First Node Class and Second Node Class.
4. In the First Node Class list, accept the current selection, or make a new selection.
5. In the Second Node Class list, accept the current selection, or make a new selection.
6. Click Create Compatibility.
   A Confirm Create Compatibility dialog box appears, with one or more check boxes that you must select before proceeding. The check boxes describe the results of the operation.
7. Select all check boxes, and then click Confirm.
