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(1) for more information on using the NetWorker administra-
       tion 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 deter-
       mined 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  adminis-
              trator.  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 pol-
              icy.

       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.

                              type: NSR policy;
                              name: Quarter;
                            period: Months;
                 number of periods: 3;
