Creating a Storage Policy Copy Using a Global Secondary Copy Policy

To run a secondary copy operation, you must create a storage policy copy and configure it to use the data paths of a global secondary policy copy. To efficiently manage the lifecycle of the tape media, associate storage policy copies that have similar retention settings to a global secondary copy policy.

Alternatively, you can automate storage policy copy creation and configure it to use the data paths of a global secondary policy by using the configuration XML. For more information, see Creating a Storage Policy Copy Using a Global Secondary Copy Policy Through the Command Line Interface.

Before You Begin

You must have the following entities:

  • A storage pool using a tape library

    For more information about creating a storage pool using a tape library, see Configuring Tape Network Storage Pool.

  • A global secondary copy policy using the tape network storage pool

    For more information about creating a global secondary copy policy, see Creating Global Secondary Copy Policy.

    No two or more storage policy copies in a storage policy can be associated with the same storage pool.

Procedure

Create one or more storage policy copies that use the storage pool as follows:
