Parameters

Parameter Description

cluster The name of the cluster on which to run the command.

expr

The criteria for offloading data. The criteria can be defined using a combination of the following:

`u`	Username or user ID, as configured in the OS registry (such as `/etc/passwd` file, LDAP, etc.), of a specific user. Usage: `u:<username or user ID>`
`g`	Group name or group ID, as configured in the OS registry (such as `/etc/group` file, LDAP, etc.), of a specific group. Usage: `g:<groupname or group ID>`
`a`	(`atime`) Time (in seconds or days) since the files were last accessed. The number of seconds can be specified by appending `s` to value and the number of days can be specified by appending `d` to the value. Usage: `"a:<value>s"` — specifies `atime` in seconds `"a:<value>d"` — specifies `atime` in days NOTE If the system time on CLDB and file server nodes are different, the `atime` rule for offloading data may not work as intended. This tier rule is matched and files are offloaded, when all of the following conditions are met: `atime` tracking is enabled at volume level Time since `atime` that is configured on the volume is more than the time specified in the rule Duration since the file was last accessed is more than the time specified in the rule Assume that the `atime` feature is enabled on the volume and that the time in the rule is set to a:300s. Based on this rule, all files that are not accessed since 300s, are offloaded. However, this rule is valid only if time since `atime` tracking is enabled, is more than 300s. The volume level parameter `atimeTrackingStartTime` denotes the start time of `atime`. For more information, see Tuning Last Access Time.
`m`	(`mtime`) Time (in seconds or days) since the files were last modified. The number of seconds can be specified by appending `s` to value and the number of days can be specified by appending `d` to the value. Usage: `"m:<value>s"` — specifies mtime in seconds `"m:<value>d"` — specifies mtime in days All files that are not modified since the specified amount of time, are offloaded. NOTE If the system time on CLDB and file server nodes are different, the mtime rule for offloading data may not work as intended.
`s`	The size of the file in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes. The size of the file can be specified by appending one of the following to the value: `b` for bytes, `k` for kilobytes, `m` for megabytes, or `g` for gigabytes. Usage `"s:<value>b"` — specifies file size in bytes `"s:<value>k"` — specifies file size in KB `"s:<value>m"` — specifies file size in MB `"s:<value>g"` — specifies file size in GB All files whose size exceeds the specified size are offloaded.

Or, use the following:

`p`	(Default) Specifies all files. Specifies that this operation is applicable to all the files without restriction. This cannot be combined with any other operator.
`""`	Indicates none of the files. Specifies that this operation cannot be performed on any of the files.

Use the following to string multiple criteria for offload:

`&`	AND operation to combine multiple expressions as the criteria for the rule.
`\|`	OR operation to indicate either of the expressions as the criteria for the rule.
`()`	Delimiters for subexpressions.

name The name of the rule.

Examples

Create a rule to offload files older than a year:

/opt/mapr/bin/maprcli tier rule create -name rule1 -expr "m:365d" -json
{
	"timestamp":1519681290079,
	"timeofday":"2018-02-26 01:41:30.079 GMT-0800 PM",
	"status":"OK",
	"total":0,
	"data":[
		
	],
	"messages":[
		"Successfully created rule: 'rule1'"
	]
}

# curl -k -X POST 'https://abc.sj.us:8443/rest/tier/rule/create?name=rule1&expr=m:365d' --user mapr:mapr
{"timestamp":1519681475025,"timeofday":"2018-02-26 01:44:35.025 GMT-0800 PM","status":"OK","total":0,"data":[],"messages":["Successfully created rule: 'rule1'"]}

Create a rule to offload files larger than 5 GB:

# /opt/mapr/bin/maprcli tier rule create -name rule2 -expr "s:5g" -json
{
	"timestamp":1519681586774,
	"timeofday":"2018-02-26 01:46:26.774 GMT-0800 PM",
	"status":"OK",
	"total":0,
	"data":[
		
	],
	"messages":[
		"Successfully created rule: 'rule2'"
	]
}

# curl -k -X POST 'https://abc.sj.us:8443/rest/tier/rule/create?name=rule2&expr=s:5g' --user mapr:mapr
{"timestamp":1519681667766,"timeofday":"2018-02-26 01:47:47.766 GMT-0800 PM","status":"OK","total":0,"data":[],"messages":["Successfully created rule: 'rule2'"]}

Create rule to offload files whose owner is m7user1:

# /opt/mapr/bin/maprcli tier rule create -name rule3 -expr "u:m7user1" -json
{
    "timestamp":1519682014521,
    "timeofday":"2018-02-26 01:53:34.521 GMT-0800 PM",
    "status":"OK",
    "total":0,
    "data":[

    "messages":[
        "Successfully created rule: 'rule3'"
    ]
}

# curl -k -X POST 'https://abc.sj.us:8443/rest/tier/rule/create?name=rule3&expr=u:m7user1' --user mapr:mapr

# /opt/mapr/bin/maprcli tier rule create -name rule4 -expr "p" -json
{
	"timestamp":1519682694183,
