Last Modified 2023-11-30 10:15 ESTThe SCALE CLI guide is a work in progress! New namespace and command documentation is continually added and maintained, so check back here often to see what is new!
The system_dataset namespace has 3 commands, and is based on system dataset storage functions found in the SCALE API and web UI. It provides access to storage configuration methods through the system_dataset namespace commands.
The following system_dataset namespace commands allow you to review and update the configured system dataset. The system dataset stores core files for debugging and keys for encrypted pools. It also stores Samba4 metadata, such as the user and group cache and share-level permissions.
You can enter commands from the main CLI prompt or from the system namespace prompt.
The config
command returns the current system dataset configuration.
The pool_choices
command allows you to view all available pools that can host the system dataset.
The update
command allows you to select a pool for the system dataset.
You can also use it to exclude a pool from being automatically selected, if a pool is not defined.
