About automanaged policies or storage lifecycle policies

When a workload administrator subscribes an asset to a protection plan, NetBackup also creates an automanaged policy and automanaged storage lifecycle policy (SLP). In the NetBackup web UI, the name of an automanaged policy or SLP is made up of the protection plan name, then the suffix that contains the GUID. (If you used the custom prefix option when you created the protection plan, then the name of the automanaged policy reflects that prefix instead.) In the NetBackup Administration Console, an automanaged policy or SLP name uses the prefix SLO_ENGINE_MANAGED+.

The NetBackup web UI does not allow users to modify or delete automanaged policies or SLPs. You can only view the details of an automanaged policy or SLP.

Warning:

It is not recommended that users modify or delete automanaged policies or storage lifecycle policies using the NetBackup Administration Console or the command line. If a user begins to modify or delete an automanaged policy or SLP using the NetBackup Administration Console, a dialog appears that warns users about the possible consequences.

  • If the user continues to make modifications, they must make sure that the policy or SLP continues to meet the service level objective that is the protection plan defines.

  • If the user continues to delete the policy or SLP, they must make sure that the asset is added to another protection plan that meets the service level objective.
