ASSIGN DEFMGMTCLASS (Assign a default management class)

Use this command to specify a management class as the default management class for a policy set. You must assign a default management class for a policy set before you can activate that policy set.

To ensure that clients can always back up and archive files, choose a default management class that contains both an archive copy group and a backup copy group.

The server uses the default management class to manage client files when a management class is not otherwise assigned or appropriate. For example, the server uses the default management class when a user does not specify a management class in the include-exclude list. See the Administrator's Guide for details.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the policy set belongs.

Syntax


>>-ASsign DEFMGmtclass--domain_name--policy_set_name--class_name-><
