Running a policy for the TS7600 ProtecTIER® Deduplication Solutions, V3.4.1

Complete this task to run a policy.

Policies can be run either manually or automatically. Whenever replication events are received, policies are continuously run. The most common types of triggers for automatic replication are:
  • backup
  • eject
  • unload cartridge

Manually run policies create replication jobs for all the valid cartridges in their list, whether or not they need to be replicated.

Running a policy leads to lining up replication jobs in their respective priority queues where they wait for resources and the replication timeframe to start replicating.

To run a policy:
  1. Select Replication > Replication Policy > Run replication policy.
  2. Select the destination repositories on which to run the repository.
  3. Click Run. The replication policy will begin to run.
Note: If you run a policy with a single destination, no destinations need to be selected. Or, if you select multiple policies to run, no destinations are chosen.

Running a policy on a cartridge

You can also replicate a specific cartridge that is within the range of cartridges in a specific policy. To manually run the policy on the specific cartridge, do the following:
  1. Select the Cartridges tab view of the library.
  2. Right-click on the cartridge or group of cartridges.
  3. Select VT > VT Cartridge > Cartridge replication and click Yes. The policy will run on the selected cartridge.
