NAME
nsr_policy - NetWorker resource type ``NSR policy''
SYNOPSIS
type: NSR policy
DESCRIPTION
Each NetWorker policy is described by a single resource of type
NSR policy
(see
nsr_resource(5)).
To view the
NSR policy
resources for a NetWorker server, enter nsradmin at the command prompt
to start the nsradmin program. At the nsradmin prompt, enter:
-
nsradmin>print type:NSR policy
See
nsradmin(8)
for more information on using the NetWorker administration program.
These resources control how long entries remain in a client's on-line
file index and when to mark a save set as recyclable. Each
NSR client
resource (see
nsr_client(5))
uses two policies, a browse policy and a retention policy. Policies
can only be deleted if no clients are using them.
Each policy defines an amount of time. The amount of time is
determined by the period and the number of periods.
ATTRIBUTES
The following attributes are defined for resource type
NSR policy.
The information in parentheses describes how the attribute values are
accessed.
Create-only
indicates that the value cannot be changed by an administrator once
the resource is created.
Read/write
means the value can be set as well as read at any time. Several
additional hidden attributes (for example, administrator) are common to all
resources, and are described in
nsr_resource(5).
- name (create-only)
-
This attribute contains the name of the policy defined by this
resource. The name must be unique for this NetWorker server, but
otherwise can be anything that makes sense to the administrator. This
name will appear as a choice attribute of each NSR client resource.
The
NSR policy
resources named "Quarter" and "Year" may be modified, but may not be
removed. The name can only be specified when the group is created.
Example:
name: life cycle;
- comment (read/write)
-
This attribute is provided for the administrator to keep any explanatory
remarks or supplementary information about the policy.
- number of periods (read/write)
-
The number of periods attribute specifies the number of base units to
use.
Example:
number of periods: 3;
- period (read/write)
-
The period attribute determines the base unit for this policy. It may
be one of four values:
Days,
Weeks,
Months
or
Years.
A week is defined as 7 days, the number of days in a particular
month depends upon the calender, and a year as 366
days.
Example:
period: Months;
EXAMPLE
The following
NSR policy
resource named "Quarter" defines a period of 3 months, or one quarter
of a year:
-
type: NSR policy;
name: Quarter;
period: Months;
number of periods: 3;
