PURPOSE

Changes file storage attribute for files in system replicated filesystems.

DESCRIPTION

The chfstore command is used to change the file storage (fstore) attribute of
files in system replicated file systems.  The most common example of a system
replicated file system is the replicated root file system.  The fstore
attribute controls which cluster sites will store a copy of the file.

The fstore attribute can be specified as as an octal number or as a class of
machines.  The choices for class are limited to those classes defined in
/etc/fstore.  This file defines the following classes.

   i386 - Causes the file to be stored on all AIX PS/2 cluster sites.

   i370 - Causes the file to be stored on all AIX 370 cluster sites.

   none - Causes the file to be stored on only the primary and backbone cluster
          sites.

   all - Causes the file to be stored on all cluster sites.

   primary - Causes the file to be stored on only the primary cluster site.

FLAGS

-o      Use this flag to maintain the original fstore value.  The storage file
        attribute is then both the old and new values.  For example, if the old
        value had been "i386", and you used the -o flag to add "i370", that
        file is stored in both machine types.

DIAGNOSTICS

Errors occur if a file does not exist, a file is not in a system replicated
filesystem, or the caller is not the owner or superuser.

FILES

/etc/fstore         Defines the octal fstore values associated with various
                    classes of machines.
