Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Storage lifecycle policy validation dialog box

The Storage Lifecycle Policy validation dialog box may appear if NetBackup cannot save the SLP as configured because of problems with the operations in the SLP. The dialog box may also appear after the administrator clicks Validate Across Backup Policies, before the Validation Report tab displays.

The Storage Lifecycle Policy validation dialog box displays the errors that must be corrected before the SLP can be saved. For example, errors regarding the hierarchy of operations in the SLP or errors concerning the storage units that the operations indicate.

The dialog box contains the following information about any validation errors:

Index

The operation in the SLP that contains errors. The index number is the operation's order in the SLP. For example, the second operation has an index number of two.

Operation

The type of operation where the error occurs in the SLP.

Storage

The storage name that is indicated in the operation where the error occurs.

Error code

The NetBackup status code. Use the NetBackup Troubleshooter or the NetBackup Status Codes Reference Guide to determine corrective actions.

See Running the Troubleshooter.

Error description

The vendor-specific error code and a description of the error.
