Viewing Tiering Policies

This operation enables you to view the tiering policies created for a file system.

Precautions

After a file system is deleted, it is displayed as -- in the File System column in the left area on the Tiering page, and the tiering policies created for it will be deleted in one hour.

Procedure

  1. Choose Services > HDFS Service > Tiering.
  2. Click the Placement Policy or Migration Policy tab.
  3. Select a file system. In the function pane, view the tiering policy information about the file system. Table 1 and Table 2 describe related parameters.

    When a file applies to multiple periodical migration policies, the priority of a policy is determined by its position in the table. Policies are sorted in descending order of priority. By default, migration policies are sorted by creation time. You can click Up or Down to change the location of a policy in the table.
