Warning about modifying or deleting automanaged policies or storage lifecycle policies

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.

Automanaged policies and SLPs are generated when a workload administrator protects an asset by subscribing to a protection plan. Automanaged policy and SLP names use the prefix SLO_ENGINE_MANAGED+.

  • 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 defined by the protection plan.

  • 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.
