DEFINE POLICYSET (Define a policy set)
Use this command to define a policy set in a policy domain. A policy set contains management classes, which contain copy groups. You can define one or more policy sets for each policy domain.
To put a policy set into effect, you must activate the policy set by using the ACTIVATE POLICYSET command. Only one policy set can be active in a policy domain. The copy groups and management classes within the active policy set determine the rules by which client nodes perform backup, archive, and space management operations, and how the client files stored are managed.
Use the VALIDATE POLICYSET command to verify that a policy set is complete and valid before activating it with the ACTIVATE POLICYSET command.
Privilege class
To issue this command you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the policy set belongs.
