Use this command to verify that a policy set is complete and valid before you activate it. The command examines the management class and copy group definitions in the policy set and reports on conditions that you need to consider before activating the policy set.
- The policy set has no default management class.
- A copy group within the policy set specifies a copy storage pool as a destination.
- A management class specifies a copy storage pool as the destination for files that were migrated by a Tivoli® Storage Manager for Space Management client.
- A TOCDESTINATION parameter is specified, and the storage pool is either a copy pool or has a data format other than NATIVE or NONBLOCK.
- A copy group specifies
a storage pool that does not exist as a destination
for backed-up or archived files.
If you activate a policy set with copy groups that specify nonexistent storage pools, the client backup or archive operations fail.
- A management class specifies a storage pool that does not exist as a destination for files migrated by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients.
- The policy set does not have one or more management classes that
exist
in the current ACTIVE policy set.
If you activate the policy set, backup files bound to the deleted management classes are rebound to the default management class in the new active policy set.
- The policy set does
not have one or more copy groups that exist in the
current ACTIVE policy set.
If you activate the policy set, files bound to the management classes with deleted copy groups are no longer archived or backed up.
- The default management class for the policy
set does not contain a backup
or archive copy group.
If you activate the policy set with this default management class, clients using the default cannot back up or archive files.
- A management class specifies that a backup version must exist before a file can be migrated from a client node (MIGREQUIRESBKUP=YES), but the management class does not contain a backup copy group.
- All management classes in the policy set to be validated must contain an archive copy group.
- If a management class exists in the active policy set, a management class with the same name must exist in the policy set to be validated.
- If an archive copy group exists in the active policy set, the corresponding copy group in the policy set to be validated must have a RETVER value at least as large as the corresponding values in the active copy group.
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.
Parameters
- domain_name (Required)

- policy_set_name (Required)
