Storage lifecycle policy Validation report tab
NetBackup validates the SLP when it is first created and whenever it is changed. The Validation report tab lists the conflicts between the proposed changes to the operations in a storage lifecycle policy and any backup policy that uses the SLP.
Likewise, when a policy is created that indicates an SLP as the Policy storage, a similar validation report may display. The report lists any conflicts between the policy and the SLP that it has indicated.
The conflicts that are listed must be resolved in order for a job that references the SLP to run successfully.
To view conflicts between an SLP and backup policies
- On the left, click Storage > Storage lifecycle policies.
- Do one of the following:
Click Add to add a new SLP.
Select an SLP and click Edit.
- Scroll to the bottom of the policy and click Check for conflicts with backup policies.
The results display on the Validation report tab.
Note:
The Request has timed out message may appear in environments with very busy servers.
To increase the timeout to account for the latency in connectivity, increase the NBJAVA_CORBA_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT value in the following files:
On Windows: The setconf.bat configuration file (Install_path\java\setconf.bat).
On UNIX: The nbj.conf configuration file (/usr/openv/java/nbj.conf).
The report checks for the following conflicts between the selected SLP and the backup policies that use it:
The data classification in the storage lifecycle policy does not match that in the referencing backup policies.
The SLP contains a Snapshot operation, but the referencing backup policies do not have Perform snapshot backups enabled.
The SLP does not contain a Snapshot operation, but the referencing backup policies have the Perform snapshot backups enabled.
The SLP contains a Snapshot operation, but the referencing backup policies cannot enable the option.
The policy is of the NBU-Catalog backup type, but the SLP configuration does not indicate a CatalogBackup volume pool.
The policy is not of the NBU-Catalog backup type, but the SLP configuration indicates a CatalogBackup volume pool
