Enabling and disabling a policy for the TS7600 ProtecTIER® Deduplication Solutions, V3.4.1
You can enable or disable a policy from ProtecTIER Manager.
A policy can be enabled or disabled per destination. In the detailed view of a policy, an indication displays whether the policy is enabled, disabled, or enabled with some of its destinations disabled.
Enabling a policy
Upon successfully creating a policy, by default, the policy is enabled. This means that all incoming replication events will look to apply their rules to the policy's definition. If a policy is disabled, you can enable it from ProtecTIER Manager. This does not affect current running activities. Selecting Policy enabled automatically runs the policy within the timeframe defined. If Policy enabled is not selected, no activities will take place.
To enable a policy:
- From the Systems Management view, select a policy from the Replication Policies pane.
- Select Replication > Replication policy > Enable policy. The policy is enabled.
- Go on to Running a policy for the TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions, V3.4.1.Important: After you enable a policy, it is best to run the new policy quickly to ensure that all the pending replication activities are included in the replication. Otherwise, only further backups will be triggered for a replication.
Disabling a policy
A policy can be disabled at any time from ProtecTIER Manager. If a policy is disabled, all new replication triggers will be ignored for the cartridge from the moment it is disabled. This does not affect currently replicated cartridges and the replication activities are gradually finished.
To disable a policy:
- From the Systems Management view, select a policy from the Replication Policies pane.
- Select Replication > Replication policy > Disable policy. The policy is disabled.
- Go on to Running a policy for the TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions, V3.4.1.
- Disabling a policy clears the replication backlog of the specific replication policy only.
- After enabling a previously disabled policy, it is best to run the new policy quickly to ensure that all the pending replication activities are included in the replication. Otherwise, only further backups will be triggered for a replication.
