Viewing Placement Policies

Context

• On the placement policy management page, click to refresh placement policies.
• On the placement policy management page, click or next to a parameter and enter a keyword to search for desired placement policies.
• On the placement policy management page, click and select desired placement policy parameters to be viewed.

Procedure

1. Choose Resources > Dataflow > SmartTier > Placement Policy.
2. Select a desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
3. Select a desired file directory from the list on the left. Placement policies created for it are displayed in the function pane on the right. Table 1 describes related parameters.
   

   • The placement policy created for a dtree itself is preferentially used. If a dtree is not created with a placement policy, it inherits the placement policy of its parent namespace.
   • When a file meets multiple placement policies, the priority of a policy is determined by its position in the table. Policies are sorted in ascending order of the priority. By default, policies are sorted by creation time. You can click Up or Down to change the location of a policy in the table.
