To learn the locations of filesets from the names of files or directories that they contain, enter the cm whereis command:
$ cm whereis [-path {filename | directory_name}...]
The -path filename or directory_name option is the name of a file or directory in the fileset whose location you want to determine. You can include multiple files or directories from different filesets. Omit this option to learn the location of the fileset that houses the working directory.
For each named file or directory, the cm whereis command displays the name of the cell in which the file or directory exists, the name of the fileset in which the file or directory resides, and the name of each File Server machine that houses a copy of the fileset. If the names of multiple machines are displayed, the file or directory resides in a read-only fileset, and replicas of the fileset are stored on each machine displayed by the command. Typically, only filesets that are in demand by numerous users (for example, filesets that house frequently accessed binary files) are replicated; filesets that are used by only a limited number of users (for example, users' home filesets) are seldom replicated.
The following example displays location information about the fileset that houses the directory named /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry:
$ cm whereis /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry
File '/.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry' resides in the cell
'abc.com', in fileset 'user.terry', on host fs3.abc.com.
