Validate Policy dialog box
The Validate Policy dialog box appears for the backup policies that are configured for Replication Director and are not Exchange, Oracle, or VMware policies. The dialog box appears upon selecting OK to save and close the policy.
To ensure that the backup policy can run successfully, NetBackup validates the policy according to the validation level that you select.
Select the validation level for the policy:
Complete
Performs full topology validation on underlying storage with provisioning.
Provisioning dynamically allocates NetApp storage space to each volume or LUN as data is written.
NetBackup checks the storage space on the resource pool members and performs SnapVault and SnapMirror access checks.
Basic
Performs a subset of topology validation on underlying storage without provisioning.
NetBackup checks all policies to ensure that the client can perform a snapshot of the data that is indicated in the Backup Selections list.
NetBackup performs license checks, performs SnapVault and SnapMirror access status checks, and checks the CIFS/NFS status.
None
No topology validation or provisioning.
NetBackup does not check the topology and does not provision the underlying storage.
If the policy validation finds no problems, the policy saves and closes. If validation problems are found, NetBackup displays a message that contains an error code and a description.
