int dpm_addpool (struct dpm_pool *dpm_pool)

Description

dpm_addpool defines a new disk pool.

dpm_pool: contains the pool definition.

struct dpm_pool {
    char        poolname[CA_MAXPOOLNAMELEN+1];
    u_signed64    defsize;
    int        gc_start_thresh;
    int        gc_stop_thresh;
    int        def_lifetime;
    int        defpintime;
    int        max_lifetime;
    int        maxpintime;
    char        fss_policy[CA_MAXPOLICYLEN+1];
    char        gc_policy[CA_MAXPOLICYLEN+1];
    char        mig_policy[CA_MAXPOLICYLEN+1];
    char        rs_policy[CA_MAXPOLICYLEN+1];
    int        nbgids;
    gid_t        *gids;
    char        ret_policy;
    char        s_type;
    u_signed64    capacity;
    u_signed64    free;
    int        nbelem;
};

poolname: specifies the disk pool name.
defsize: specifies the default amount of space reserved for a file (in bytes).
gc_start_thresh: specifies the minimum free space in the pool. If the percentage of free space goes below this value, the garbage collector is started. Default is 0.
gc_stop_thresh: specifies the percentage of free space in the pool above which the garbage collector is stopped. Default is 0.
def_lifetime: specifies the default time a space or volatile file is kept in the system (in seconds).
defpintime: specifies the default time a file is kept on a given disk (in seconds).
max_lifetime: specifies the maximum time a space or volatile file is kept in the system (in seconds).
maxpintime: specifies the maximum time a file is kept on a given disk (in seconds).
nbgids: is the size of the array of group ids gids.
gids: The disk pool is restricted to this set of gids unless the group gid is zero.
ret_policy: specifies the retention policy supported by the disk pool. It can be R (for Replica), O (for Output) or C (for Custodial).
s_type: indicates the type of space supported in the disk pool. It can be V (for Volatile), D (for Durable), P (for Permanent) or - (to accept any type).

This function requires ADMIN privilege.

Return Value

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

Errors

EACCES: The caller does not have ADMIN privilege.
EFAULT: dpm_pool is a NULL pointer.
EEXIST: This pool exists already.
ENOMEM: Memory could not be allocated for storing the pool definition.
EINVAL: The length of poolname exceeds CA_MAXPOOLNAMELEN or the number of gids is too big.
SENOSHOST: Host unknown.
SEINTERNAL: Database error.
SECOMERR: Communication error.
