A tiered volume is a normal volume with some number of new bricks representing "hot" storage. The "hot" bricks can be attached or detached dynamically to a normal volume. When this happens, a new graph is constructed. The root of the new graph is an instance of the tier translator. One subvolume of the tier translator leads to the old volume, and another leads to the new hot bricks. attach-tier <VOLNAME> [<replica> <COUNT>] <NEW-BRICK> ... [force] volume detach-tier <VOLNAME> [replica <COUNT>] <BRICK> ... <start|stop|status|commit|force> gluster volume rebalance <volume> tier start gluster volume rebalance <volume> tier stop gluster volume rebalance <volume> tier status The "tier start" CLI command starts a server side daemon. The daemon initiates file level migration based on caching policies. The daemon's status can be monitored and stopped. Note development on the "tier status" command is incomplete. It will be added in a subsequent patch. When the "hot" storage is detached, the tier translator is removed from the graph and the tiered volume reverts to its original state as described in the volume's info file.
