If you are editing a Storage Manager policy, you can edit fields on the General, Relocation, Steering, Schedule and Associated Directories tabs. For more information about fields on these tabs, see Add a Storage Manager Policy.

Note: This DISK media type does not support the parameters and options associated with the General tab, the Schedule tab, and the Steering tab. Those parameters and options are disabled. If you select a media type other than DISK, then the parameters and options associated with the General tab, the Schedule tab, and the Steering tab are enabled and you have full access to the policy options. See The Relocation Tab for additional information.

If you are editing a Replication global policy, you can edit fields on Deduplication, Outbound Replication, Inbound Replication, Source Directories and Blackout tabs. If you are editing a Replication target policy, there is no Blackout tab. For more information about fields on these tabs, see Add a Storage Manager Policy.

1. From the Configuration > Storage Policies page, select the policy you wish to edit.
2. Click Edit.
3. Modify policy information as desired by clicking the tabs and editing or adding information. The process is the same as when you first created the policy.
4. Click Apply to save changes and return to the Configuration > Storage Policies page, or Cancel to abort.

WARNING: Adding or removing steering copies from an active policy is not retroactive to existing, stored files. Only new or modified files are stored to the updated steering destinations. To re-process existing stored files to reflect the updated steering destinations, contact Quantum Technical Support.

1. From the Configuration > Storage Policies page, select the policy you wish to delete.
2. Click Delete.

3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion, or No to cancel.

   Note: The policy class is not removed when there are media associated with it. You can execute the CLI command, fsmedlist -c, to generate a report and determine if any media are still associated with the policy class. If non-empty directories are related to the policy class, then the policy class is not removed. You can execute the CLI command, fsclassinfo -l, to generate a report to display the related directories. A status message is displayed to show which directory relationships are successfully removed and not removed.

   WARNING: Adding or removing steering copies from an active policy is not retroactive to existing, stored files. Only new or modified files are stored to the updated steering destinations. To re-process existing stored files to reflect the updated steering destinations, contact Quantum Technical Support.
