PowerScaleOneFS CLI Command Reference

The isi job jobs start command does not control jobs that are already in progress. If an active job is paused, you can use the isi job jobs resume command to start it from the point it was paused.

Syntax

isi job jobs start <type>
  [--policy <string>]
  [--priority <integer>]
  [--no-dup]
  [--paths <path>]
  [--delete]
  [--delete-quotas]
  [--root <path>]
  [--dm-type  {snaprevert | synciq}]
  [--mapping-type  {clone | sid | unix | native}]
  [--mode  {clone | inherit | convert}]
  [--template <path>]
  [--zone <string>]
  [--snapid <integer>]
  [--verbose]

Options

<type>

Specifies the type of job to add to the job queue (for example, MediaScan).

{--priority} <integer>

Sets the priority level for the specified job, with 1 being the highest priority and 10 being the lowest.

{--policy} <string>

Sets the impact policy for the specified job.

{--no-dup}

Disallows duplicate jobs. If an instance of the specified job is already in the queue, the new job does not start.

--paths <path>

Specifies the path of the job, which must be within /ifs. This option is valid only for the TreeDelete and PermissionRepair jobs.

--delete

Valid for the DomainMark job only. Deletes the domain mark.

Valid for the TreeDelete job only. Automatically deletes quotas on the removed dataset.

This option may generate the following log message while attempting to remove a directory with a quota on it.

Ignore this log message. The --delete-quotas option deletes the quota first and then it removes the directory.
