Can we setup a file placement policy based on creating and modification times 
when copying data from Windows into GPFS? It looks like the placement policy 
only accepts only CREATION_TIME and not MODIFICATION_TIME or ACCESS_TIME.  If I 
try to use these, I get message saying these are not supported in the context 
(placement?) But even the policy with CREATION_TIME is not working properly. We 
wanted files with CREATION_TIME which is 365 days ago go to a different pool 
other than ‘system’. But when we copy files it is dumping all files into system 
pool. But the creation time is looks correct on the file after copied into 
GPFS. Does it check file CREATION_TIME when a file gets copied over to GPFS?

Here is the placement policy:
RULE ‘tiering’ SET POOL ‘pool2’
WHERE ( DAYS(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) - DAYS(CREATION_TIME) > 365 )
RULE ‘default’ SET POOL ‘system’
