DpPolicyCopy |
A data protection (DP) Policy describes how To protect a data set by creating Backups and mirrors of the data at scheduled times. A DP Policy is represented by a directed graph whose topology is that of a tree. The nodes (vertices) of the graph represent the Dataset's storage sets. The connections (edges) of the graph are of one of two types: |
| DpPolicyCopy (supported) | [top] |
Create a new DP Policy by copying From an existing "template" Policy. The new Policy created using this ZAPI has the same set of nodes and connections as the template Policy, and the same property Values for each node and connection.
Error conditions:
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To read the template Policy From the database, or create a new Policy, or both.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - No template Policy was found that has the given Name or ID.
- EPOLICYEXISTS - A Policy with the given DpPolicyName already exists.
- EDATABASEERROR - A database Error occurred while processing the Request.
- EAPIMISSINGARGUMENT - No template Policy Name or Id was supplied as an input.
- EINVALIDINPUTERROR - Policy Description string was too long.
Input Name Type DpPolicyCopy DpPolicyCopy
Output Name Type DpPolicyCopyResult DpPolicyCopyResult
Error Name Description EACCESSDENIED EAPIMISSINGARGUMENT EDATABASEERROR EINVALIDINPUTERROR EOBJECTNOTFOUND EPOLICYEXISTS
| DpPolicyDestroy (supported) | [top] |
Destroy a DP Policy. This removes it From the database. If the Policy has been applied To any Datasets, then the Destroy Operation fails; you must first un-map the Policy From any Datasets To which it had been applied before you may Destroy the Policy.
If this ZAPI fails for any Reason, the DP Policy edit of which it was a part is not rolled back. Instead, the edit is restored To the state it was in prior To invoking this ZAPI.
After this ZAPI successfully completes, any subsequent calls in the same edit session To DpPolicyDestroy or DpPolicyModify fail with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND.
Error conditions:
- EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND - No edit lock was found that has the given ID.
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To modify the Policy.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - The Policy was already destroyed during this edit session.
- EPOLICYNOTMODIFIABLE - The Policy is one of the samples created during installation, and therefore cannot be deleted.
Input Name Type DpPolicyDestroy DpPolicyDestroy
Output Name Type DpPolicyDestroyResult DpPolicyDestroyResult
Error Name Description EACCESSDENIED EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND EOBJECTNOTFOUND EPOLICYNOTMODIFIABLE
| DpPolicyEditBegin (supported) | [top] |
Create an edit session and obtain an edit lock on a DP Policy To begin modifying the Policy. An edit lock must be obtained before invoking the following APIs:
Use DpPolicyEditCommit To end the edit session and commit the changes To the database.
- DpPolicyModify
- DpPolicyDestroy
Use DpPolicyEditRollback To end the edit session and discard any changes made To the Policy.
24 hours after an edit session on a Policy begins, any subsequent call To DpPolicyEditBegin for that same Policy automatically rolls back the existing edit session and begins a new edit session, just as if the call had used the Force Option. If there is no such call, the existing edit session simply continues and retains the edit lock.
Error conditions:
- EEDITINPROGRESS - Another edit session already has an edit lock on the specified Policy.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - No Policy was found that has the given Name or ID.
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To modify the Policy.
- EDATABASEERROR - A database Error occurred while processing the Request.
Input Name Type DpPolicyEditBegin DpPolicyEditBegin
Output Name Type DpPolicyEditBeginResult DpPolicyEditBeginResult
Error Name Description EACCESSDENIED EDATABASEERROR EEDITINPROGRESS EOBJECTNOTFOUND
| DpPolicyEditCommit (supported) | [top] |
Commit changes made To a DP Policy during an edit session into the database. If all the changes To the Policy are performed successfully, the entire edit is committed and the edit lock on the Policy is released.
If any of the changes To the Policy are not performed successfully, then the edit is rolled back (none of the changes are committed) and the edit lock on the Policy is released.
Use the DryRun Option To test the commit. Using this Option, the changes To the Policy are not committed To the database. Instead, a conformance check is performed To return a list of actions that the system would take if the changes were committed by calling this ZAPI without the DryRun Option.
If DryRun is false, and all changes are successfully committed, then before the call returns, the system begins a conformance run on all Datasets To which the Policy has been applied. (See DatasetConformBegin for a Description of conformance runs.) If any needed conformance actions require user confirmation, it is assumed that such confirmation has been given, and the actions are performed.
Error conditions:
- EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND - No edit lock was found that has the given ID.
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To modify the Policy.
- EPOLICYEXISTS - The Policy's Name is being changed, and a Policy with the new Name already exists.
- EDPPOLICYINUSE - The Policy is being deleted, but deletion has failed because the Policy is in use by one or more Datasets.
- EDATABASEERROR - A database Error occurred while processing the Request.
Input Name Type DpPolicyEditCommit DpPolicyEditCommit
Output Name Type DpPolicyEditCommitResult DpPolicyEditCommitResult
Error Name Description EACCESSDENIED EDATABASEERROR EDPPOLICYINUSE EDPPOLICYNOTFOUND EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND EPOLICYEXISTS
| DpPolicyEditRollback (supported) | [top] |
Roll back changes made To a DP Policy. The edit lock on the Policy will be released after the rollback.
Error conditions:
- EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND - No edit lock was found that has the given ID.
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To modify the Policy.
Input Name Type DpPolicyEditRollback DpPolicyEditRollback
Output Name Type DpPolicyEditRollbackResult DpPolicyEditRollbackResult
Error Name Description EACCESSDENIED EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND
| DpPolicyGetDefaultPropertyValues (supported) | [top] |
Returns default Values for node and connection Properties. These default Values are used in calls To DpPolicyModify, in cases where the property is present for a node or connection, but the corresponding optional XML element does not appear in the DpPolicyNodeInfo or DpPolicyConnectionInfo structure. Note that default Values may change From release To release. This ZAPI provides a convenient way To determine the default Values for the current release.
Error conditions: None.
Input Name Type DpPolicyGetDefaultPropertyValues DpPolicyGetDefaultPropertyValues
Output Name Type DpPolicyGetDefaultPropertyValuesResult DpPolicyGetDefaultPropertyValuesResult
| DpPolicyListIterEnd (supported) | [top] |
Terminate a list iteration that had been started by a call To DpPolicyListIterStart. This informs the server that it may now release any resources associated with the temporary store for the list iteration.
Error conditions:
- EINVALIDTAG - The specified Tag does not exist.
Input Name Type DpPolicyListIterEnd DpPolicyListIterEnd
Output Name Type DpPolicyListIterEndResult DpPolicyListIterEndResult
Error Name Description EINVALIDTAG
| DpPolicyListIterNext (supported) | [top] |
Retrieve the next series of policies that are present in a list iteration created by a call To DpPolicyListIterStart. The server maintains an internal cursor pointing To the last record returned. Subsequent calls To DpPolicyListIterNext return the next Maximum Records after the cursor, or all the remaining Records, whichever is fewer. If a property is present for a particular node or connection (the presence or absence of each property is defined in its Description), then it always appears in the output element for that node or connection From a call To DpPolicyListIterNext. For example, the output DpPolicyConnectionInfo element for a backup connection always contains a BackupScheduleName.
If a property is absent for a particular node or connection, then it never appears in the output element for that node or connection. For example, the output DpPolicyConnectionInfo element for a mirror connection never contains a BackupScheduleName.
Error conditions:
- EINVALIDTAG - The specified Tag does not exist.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - A schedule or throttle referenced by the Policy could not be found.
- EDATABASEERROR - A database Error occurred while processing the Request.
Input Name Type DpPolicyListIterNext DpPolicyListIterNext
Output Name Type DpPolicyListIterNextResult DpPolicyListIterNextResult
Error Name Description EDATABASEERROR EINVALIDTAG EOBJECTNOTFOUND
| DpPolicyListIterStart (supported) | [top] |
Begin a list iteration over all content in all DP policies in the system. Optionally, you may iterate over the content of just a single Policy. After calling DpPolicyListIterStart, you continue the iteration by calling DpPolicyListIterNext zero or more times, followed by a call To DpPolicyListIterEnd To terminate the iteration.
Error conditions:
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To read the specified Policy.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - No Policy was found that has the given Name or ID.
- EDATABASEERROR - A database Error occurred while processing the Request.
Input Name Type DpPolicyListIterStart DpPolicyListIterStart
Output Name Type DpPolicyListIterStartResult DpPolicyListIterStartResult
Error Name Description EACCESSDENIED EDATABASEERROR EOBJECTNOTFOUND
| DpPolicyModify (supported) | [top] |
This ZAPI modifies a DP Policy by completely replacing the Policy's old content with new content specified by input element DpPolicyContent. This ZAPI can only change a Policy's Name, Description, and the Properties of its nodes and most of the Properties of it's connections. The connection property of IsDrCapable cannot be changed once a Policy is created. This ZAPI also cannot change the topology (set of nodes and connections between nodes) of a Policy; instead, the topology specified in DpPolicyContent must Match the Policy's current topology. At present, there is no way To change the topology of a Policy. If a property is absent for a particular node or connection (the presence or absence of each property is defined in its Description), then it is illegal for that property To appear in the input element for that node or connection in a call To DpPolicyModify. For example, it is illegal To specify a BackupScheduleName in a dp-policy-connection element for a mirror connection.
Error conditions:
- EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND - No edit lock was found that has the given ID.
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To modify the Policy.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - The Policy was already destroyed during this edit session.
- EPOLICYNOTMODIFIABLE - The Policy is one of the samples created during installation, and therefore cannot be modified.
- EPOLICYTOPOLOGYCHANGED - The requested modification changes the topology of the Policy.
- EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY - The requested modification would set a node or connection property To an invalid Value. This includes the case when a property Value was specified, but the property is not present for that node or connection.
- EOSSVCANTTAKESNAPSHOTS - A Snapshot schedule is being set for the Policy's root node, but the Policy has been applied To a Dataset whose root storage set contains OSSV Directories.
- EDATABASEERROR - A database Error occurred while processing the Request.
Input Name Type DpPolicyModify DpPolicyModify
Output Name Type DpPolicyModifyResult DpPolicyModifyResult
Error Name Description EACCESSDENIED EDATABASEERROR EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY EOBJECTNOTFOUND EOSSVCANTTAKESNAPSHOTS EPOLICYNOTMODIFIABLE EPOLICYTOPOLOGYCHANGED
| Element definition: DpPolicyCopy | [top] |
Create a new DP Policy by copying From an existing "template" Policy. The new Policy created using this ZAPI has the same set of nodes and connections as the template Policy, and the same property Values for each node and connection.
Error conditions:

optional
Name or Identifier for the template Policy that is copied To create the new Policy. Any Policy may serve as a template; there is no special Type of Policy for templates. This input is preferred over TemplateDpPolicyId and if supplied then do not supply TemplateDpPolicyId because TemplateDpPolicyId will be ignored.
| Element definition: DpPolicyCopyResult | [top] |
Name Type Description DpPolicyId ObjId
An object ID for the newly created Policy.
| Element definition: DpPolicyDestroy | [top] |
Destroy a DP Policy. This removes it From the database. If the Policy has been applied To any Datasets, then the Destroy Operation fails; you must first un-map the Policy From any Datasets To which it had been applied before you may Destroy the Policy.
If this ZAPI fails for any Reason, the DP Policy edit of which it was a part is not rolled back. Instead, the edit is restored To the state it was in prior To invoking this ZAPI.
After this ZAPI successfully completes, any subsequent calls in the same edit session To DpPolicyDestroy or DpPolicyModify fail with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND.
Error conditions:
- EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND - No edit lock was found that has the given ID.
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To modify the Policy.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - The Policy was already destroyed during this edit session.

Use DpPolicyEditCommit To end the edit session and commit the changes To the database.
- DpPolicyModify
- DpPolicyDestroy
Use DpPolicyEditRollback To end the edit session and discard any changes made To the Policy.
24 hours after an edit session on a Policy begins, any subsequent call To DpPolicyEditBegin for that same Policy automatically rolls back the existing edit session and begins a new edit session, just as if the call had used the Force Option. If there is no such call, the existing edit session simply continues and retains the edit lock.
Error conditions:
- EEDITINPROGRESS - Another edit session already has an edit lock on the specified Policy.

| Element definition: DpPolicyEditCommit | [top] |
Commit changes made To a DP Policy during an edit session into the database. If all the changes To the Policy are performed successfully, the entire edit is committed and the edit lock on the Policy is released.
If any of the changes To the Policy are not performed successfully, then the edit is rolled back (none of the changes are committed) and the edit lock on the Policy is released.
Use the DryRun Option To test the commit. Using this Option, the changes To the Policy are not committed To the database. Instead, a conformance check is performed To return a list of actions that the system would take if the changes were committed by calling this ZAPI without the DryRun Option.
If DryRun is false, and all changes are successfully committed, then before the call returns, the system begins a conformance run on all Datasets To which the Policy has been applied. (See DatasetConformBegin for a Description of conformance runs.) If any needed conformance actions require user confirmation, it is assumed that such confirmation has been given, and the actions are performed.

| Element definition: DpPolicyListIterNext | [top] |
Retrieve the next series of policies that are present in a list iteration created by a call To DpPolicyListIterStart. The server maintains an internal cursor pointing To the last record returned. Subsequent calls To DpPolicyListIterNext return the next Maximum Records after the cursor, or all the remaining Records, whichever is fewer. If a property is present for a particular node or connection (the presence or absence of each property is defined in its Description), then it always appears in the output element for that node or connection From a call To DpPolicyListIterNext. For example, the output DpPolicyConnectionInfo element for a backup connection always contains a BackupScheduleName.

An opaque handle used To identify the list iteration. The list content resides in a temporary store in the server.
| Element definition: DpPolicyModify | [top] |
This ZAPI modifies a DP Policy by completely replacing the Policy's old content with new content specified by input element DpPolicyContent. This ZAPI can only change a Policy's Name, Description, and the Properties of its nodes and most of the Properties of it's connections. The connection property of IsDrCapable cannot be changed once a Policy is created. This ZAPI also cannot change the topology (set of nodes and connections between nodes) of a Policy; instead, the topology specified in DpPolicyContent must Match the Policy's current topology. At present, there is no way To change the topology of a Policy. If a property is absent for a particular node or connection (the presence or absence of each property is defined in its Description), then it is illegal for that property To appear in the input element for that node or connection in a call To DpPolicyModify. For example, it is illegal To specify a BackupScheduleName in a dp-policy-connection element for a mirror connection.
Error conditions:
- EEDITSESSIONNOTFOUND - No edit lock was found that has the given ID.
- EACCESSDENIED - User does not have privileges To modify the Policy.
- EOBJECTNOTFOUND - The Policy was already destroyed during this edit session.
- EPOLICYNOTMODIFIABLE - The Policy is one of the samples created during installation, and therefore cannot be modified.
- EPOLICYTOPOLOGYCHANGED - The requested modification changes the topology of the Policy.
- EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY - The requested modification would set a node or connection property To an invalid Value. This includes the case when a property Value was specified, but the property is not present for that node or connection.
- EOSSVCANTTAKESNAPSHOTS - A Snapshot schedule is being set for the Policy's root node, but the Policy has been applied To a Dataset whose root storage set contains OSSV Directories.
- EDATABASEERROR - A database Error occurred while processing the Request.
Name Type Description DpPolicyContent DpPolicyContent
New content for the Policy. The topology (set of nodes and connections between nodes) specified by this parameter must be the same as the current topology of the Policy; otherwise, it is an Error. In particular, you may not change the Id of any connection or node. In addition, you may not change the FromNodeId or ToNodeId of any connection.
All Properties of the nodes and connections are set precisely as specified by the DpPolicyConnections and DpPolicyNodes elements of DpPolicyContent. To leave the Value of a property unchanged, its old Value must be specified explicity. The only exception is that if the element that specifies the property's Value is optional, and the old Value of the property happens To be the same as the default Value, then you may omit the specification of the old Value To keep the old Value.
EditLockId xsd:integer
Identifier of the edit lock on the Policy. The Value must be an edit lock ID that was previously returned by DpPolicyEditBegin.
| Element definition: DpPolicyModifyResult | [top] |
[none]
| Element definition: ArrayOfDpPolicyInfo | [top] |
Name Type Description DpPolicyInfo DpPolicyInfo[]
| Element definition: ArrayOfDryRunResult | [top] |
Name Type Description DryRunResult DryRunResult[]
| Element definition: DpPolicyContent | [top] |
All content of a single Policy, including its Name, Description, topology (nodes and connections), and the Properties for each node and connection.
Name Type Description Description xsd:string
optional
Description of the Policy. It may contain From 0 To 255 characters. If the Length of a Description passed as input To DpPolicyModify is longer than 255 characters, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY. The Description always appears in the output From DpPolicyListIterNext. If the Description is omitted From the input To DpPolicyModify, then the default Value is the empty string "". DpPolicyConnections ArrayOfDpPolicyConnectionInfo
optional
List of connections between nodes of the Policy. In the output From DpPolicyListIterNext, this list is sorted in order of increasing connection ID. In the input To DpPolicyModify, it need not be sorted. However, in input To DpPolicyModify, there must be a one-one mapping between entries in this array and connections in the Policy graph, or else the call fails because it is attempting To change the Policy's topology. The default Value is an empty list. If a Policy has only a single node and therefore no connections, you may omit this element From the input To DpPolicyModify. It is always present in the output From DpPolicyListIterNext.
DpPolicyNodes ArrayOfDpPolicyNodeInfo
List of nodes in the Policy. In the output From DpPolicyListIterNext, this list is sorted in order of increasing node ID. In the input To DpPolicyModify, it need not be sorted. However, in input To DpPolicyModify, there must be a one-one mapping between entries in this array and nodes in the Policy graph, or else the call fails because it is attempting To change the Policy's topology. Name ObjName
Name of the Policy. Each DP Policy has a Name that is unique among DP policies, but may be the same as an object of some other Type.
| Element definition: ObjId | [top] |
Identification number (ID) for a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the builtin ZAPI Type integer. Object IDs are unsigned integers in the range [1..2^31 - 1]. In some contexts, an object ID is also allowed To be 0, which is interpreted as a null Value, e.g., a reference To no object at all. The ID for a DFM object is always assigned by the system; the user is never allowed To assign an ID To an object. Therefore, an input element of Type ObjId is always used To refer To an existing object by its ID. The ZAPI must specify the object's DFM object Type (e.g. Dataset, Host, DP Policy, etc.). Some ZAPIs allow the object To be one of several different types.
If the Value of an ObjId input element does not Match the ID of any existing DFM object of the specified Type or types, then typically the ZAPI fails with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND. A ZAPI may deviate From this general rule, for example, it may return a more specific Error code. In either case, the ZAPI specification must document its behavior.
[none]
| Element definition: ObjName | [top] |
Name of a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the built in ZAPI Type string. An object Name must conform To the following format: The behavior of a ZAPI when it encounters an Error involving an ObjName input element depends on how the ZAPI uses the input element. Here are the general rules:
- It must contain between 1 and 64 characters.
- It may start with any character and may contain any combination of characters, except that it may not consist solely of decimal digits ('0' through '9').
- In some contexts, a Name may be the empty string (""), which is interpreted as a null Value, e.g., a reference To no object at all.
A ZAPI may deviate From these general rules, for example, it may return more specific Error codes. In such cases, the ZAPI specification must document its behavior.
- If the input Name element is used To create a new object with the given Name, or rename an existing object To that Name, and the Name does not conform To the above format, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDINPUTERROR. Note that because EINVALIDINPUTERROR is such a common Error code, ZAPI specifications are not required To document cases when they may return it.
- If the input Name element is used To refer To an existing object with that Name, and there is no object with that Name, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND. Generally the ZAPI specification documents cases when it may return this Error code.
If an input Name element is used To refer To an existing object, then the ZAPI specification must specify which DFM object Type (e.g. data set, Host, DP Policy, etc.) is allowed. Some ZAPIs allow the object To be one of several different types. See the Description of ObjFullName for examples of valid input formats.
Note that there is no requirement that all object names must be unique. However, the names for some specific types of Objects are constrained such that no two Objects of that Type may have the same Name. For example, this constraint applies To Datasets, DP schedules, and DP policies. This means that no two Datasets may have the same Name, but a Dataset may have the same Name as a DP schedule or DP Policy.
In general, object names are compared in a case-insensitive manner. This means that, for example, "MyObject" and "MYOBJECT" are considered To be the same Name for purposes of: creating new Objects, renaming existing Objects, or looking up an object by Name. On the other hand, ZAPIs that return an ObjName generally do not change the capitalization at all. For example, if an object's Name has been set To "MyObject", then list iteration ZAPIs that return the object's Name return it as "MyObject" rather than "MYOBJECT" or "myobject".
ZAPIs that operate on ObjName Values and do not follow these general rules about case sensitivity must document the rules that they do follow.
One important exception To these general rules is that Volumes, Qtrees, OSSV Directories, SRM Paths, Interfaces, FCP Targets and FC switch ports all have case-sensitive names. When looking up Objects of these types by Name, the case must Match the object Name.

| Element definition: ObjNameOrId | [top] |
Name or internal ID of a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the builtin ZAPI Type string. An ObjNameOrId must contain between 1 and 64 characters, and must conform To one of the following formats: Elements of Type ObjNameOrId are used only as inputs To ZAPIs. The Value must Match either the Name or internal ID of an existing DFM object. The ZAPI must specify the object's DFM object Type (e.g. Dataset, Host, DP Policy, etc.). Some ZAPIs allow the object To be one of several different types.
- It must have the format of an ObjName, or
- It must be the decimal numeric string form of a positive integer whose Value is in the range [1..2^31 - 1].
- In case of application resources From the Host Service, this field can contain unique identifier assigned To the object by the Host Service e.g. for a Virtual Machine, it can be a GUID of the VM. One exception is when such unique identifier is a decimal numeric string containing only digits From 0 through 9. In that case, you cannot use such identifier as ObjNameOrId input.
If the format of an ObjNameOrId input element does not conform, or the Value does not Match the Name or ID of an existing object, then generally the ZAPI documents that it fails with Error code EOBJECTNOTFOUND. A ZAPI may return more specific Error codes. In such cases, the ZAPI specification must document its behavior.
If a ZAPI can accept a null Value (e.g. reference To no object at all) for such an element, then the element is declared optional, and the absence of the input element represents a null Value.

| Element definition: DpPolicyNodeInfo | [top] |
Information about a node in a DP Policy. The node's Properties are represented by optional elements. The rules for when a property is present or absent are defined in the property's Description, and depend on the Type of node. There is a set of Properties associated with nodes that determine how long the system retains Backups. Each backup falls into one of these four Retention classes: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. The following eight Properties determine how long Backups are retained for each of the Retention classes:
A backup expires when its age, in seconds, exceeds the Retention Duration set for its Retention class on the node on which it is stored. After a backup expires, whenever the number of newer Backups in its Retention class at least equals the Retention Count for its class, then the expired backup is deleted.
- HourlyRetentionCount
- HourlyRetentionDuration
- DailyRetentionCount
- DailyRetentionDuration
- WeeklyRetentionCount
- WeeklyRetentionDuration
- MonthlyRetentionCount
- MonthlyRetentionDuration
All eight of the Retention Properties are present only on the root node and on backup secondary nodes. On the root node, the Retention Properties apply To local Snapshots created on the root node. On backup secondary nodes, the Retention Properties apply To Backups of primary node data that are stored on the backup secondary node. The Retention Properties are absent From mirror destination nodes because a mirror destination retains the same set of Backups as its mirror Source.
Name Type Description BackupScriptPath xsd:string
optional
Absolute Path on the management station To the script To invoke both before and after backing up a backup primary node. The script is invoked when either a primary node is backed up To a secondary node or a local backup is created on the root node. The Path consists of 0 To 255 characters. If the Length of a BackupScriptPath passed as input To DpPolicyModify is longer than 255 characters, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY. An empty string Value "" indicates no script is invoked. The system does not check whether a non-empty Path string actually refers To an executable script prior To attempting To run the script. The default Value of this property is the empty string "".
This property is present only for the root node.
BackupScriptRunAs xsd:string
optional
The backup script is run on the management station by the user with this Username. The Value of this property is used only if the management system is running on a Unix Host. On Windows the script is always invoked using the LocalSystem account. The Username consists of 0 To 64 characters. If the Length of a BackupScriptRunAs passed as input To DpPolicyModify is longer than 64 characters, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY. The system does not check whether a user with this Username actually exists prior To attempting To run the script.
The default Value of this property is the empty string "". If the property Value is "", then on Unix the script is run by the superuser ("root").
This property is present only for the root node.
DailyRetentionCount xsd:integer
optional
Minimum number of Backups From the daily Retention class that the system retains on this node. Range: [0..252]. The default Value of this property is 0. This property is present only for root and backup secondary nodes.
For more details, see the Description of DpPolicyNodeInfo.
DailyRetentionDuration xsd:integer
optional
The age, in seconds, after which a backup From the daily Retention class expires on this node. Range: [0..2^31 - 1]. The default Value of this property is 0. This property is present only for root and backup secondary nodes.
For more details, see the Description of DpPolicyNodeInfo.
FailoverScriptPath xsd:string
optional
Absolute Path on the management station To the script To invoke both before and after breaking mirrors during a failover Operation. The Path consists of 0 To 255 characters. If the Length of a FailoverScriptPath passed as input To DpPolicyModify is longer than 255 characters, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY. An empty string Value "" indicates no script is invoked. The system does not check whether a non-empty Path string actually refers To an executable script prior To attempting To run the script. The default Value of this property is the empty string "".
This property is present only for the root node.
FailoverScriptRunAs xsd:string
optional
The failover script is run on the management station by the user with this Username. The Value of this property is used only if the management system is running on a Unix Host. On Windows the script is always invoked using the LocalSystem account. The Username consists of 0 To 64 characters. If the Length of a FailoverScriptRunAs passed as input To DpPolicyModify is longer than 64 characters, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY. The system does not check whether a user with this Username actually exists prior To attempting To run the script.
The default Value of this property is the empty string "". If the property Value is "", then on Unix the script is run by the superuser ("root").
This property is present only for the root node.
HourlyRetentionCount xsd:integer
optional
Minimum number of Backups From the hourly Retention class that the system retains on this node. Range: [0..252]. The default Value of this property is 0. This property is present only for root and backup secondary nodes.
For more details, see the Description of DpPolicyNodeInfo.
HourlyRetentionDuration xsd:integer
optional
The age, in seconds, after which a backup From the hourly Retention class expires on this node. Range: [0..2^31 - 1]. The default Value of this property is 0. This property is present only for root and backup secondary nodes.
For more details, see the Description of DpPolicyNodeInfo.
Id xsd:integer
Identifier of the node. This is assigned by the system, and therefore may not be modified. The node at the root of the graph is Id 1. Range: [1..2^31 - 1]. IsLagErrorEnabled xsd:boolean

optional
Indicates whether the system should generate a warning event when the newest local backup copy is older than LagWarningThreshold. The default Value of this property is true. This property is present for root node only.
LagErrorThreshold xsd:integer
optional
Lag, in seconds. If local backup copy is older than this amount and if IsLagErrorEnabled is set, the system generates an Error event. The default Value of this property is 172800 seconds (which is 2 Days). Range: [1..2^31 - 1]. This property is present for root node only.
LagWarningThreshold xsd:integer
optional
Lag, in seconds. If local backup copy is older than this amount and if IsLagWarningEnabled is set, the system generates a warning event. The default Value of this property is 129600 seconds (which is 1.5 Days). Range: [1..2^31 - 1]. This property is present for root node only.

For more details, see the Description of DpPolicyNodeInfo.
Name DpPolicyNodeName
Name of the node. Each node has a Name that is unique within its Policy, but nodes in different policies may share the same Name. If the Length of a Name passed as input To DpPolicyModify is longer than 64 characters, then the ZAPI fails with Error code EINVALIDPOLICYPROPERTY. SnapshotScheduleId ObjId
optional
An object ID for the Snapshot schedule for this node. The Snapshot schedule specifies when To create local point-in-time Snapshot images on the storage elements that map To this node. The Value of SnapshotScheduleId may be 0, in which case no Snapshot schedule is set for this node. If no Snapshot schedule is set, no local Snapshots are created. If the Value is not 0, it must be the ID of a DP schedule object.
If both SnapshotScheduleId and SnapshotScheduleName appear in the input To DpPolicyModify, then SnapshotScheduleId determines the ID of the Snapshot schedule, and the Value of SnapshotScheduleName is ignored. If neither SnapshotScheduleId nor SnapshotScheduleName appear in the input To DpPolicyModify, then the default Value is an ID of 0 (equivalent To a Name of ""), which means no Snapshot schedule is set.
Both SnapshotScheduleId and SnapshotScheduleName always appear in the output From DpPolicyListIterNext for the root node of a Policy.
This property is present only for the root node. This is because all data on a non-root node comes From mirror or backup connections, and mirroring and Backups create their own Snapshots. Therefore there is no Reason for a non-root node To generate additional Snapshots on its own schedule, because they would contain no new data.
If a Policy has been applied To a Dataset whose root storage set contains OSSV Directories, then you cannot set a Snapshot schedule for the root node of the Policy. This restriction exists because OSSV Hosts cannot create local Snapshots.
SnapshotScheduleName ObjName
optional
An object Name for the Snapshot schedule for this node. The Snapshot schedule specifies when To create local point-in-time Snapshot images on the storage elements that map To this node. The Value of SnapshotScheduleName may be the empty string (""), in which case no Snapshot schedule is set for this node. If no Snapshot schedule is set, no local Snapshots are created. If the Value is not "", it must be the Name of a DP schedule object.
If both SnapshotScheduleId and SnapshotScheduleName appear in the input To DpPolicyModify, then SnapshotScheduleId determines the ID of the Snapshot schedule, and the Value of SnapshotScheduleName is ignored. If neither SnapshotScheduleId nor SnapshotScheduleName appear in the input To DpPolicyModify, then the default Value is a Name of "" (equivalent To an ID of 0), which means no Snapshot schedule is set.
Both SnapshotScheduleId and SnapshotScheduleName always appear in the output From DpPolicyListIterNext for the root node of a Policy.
This property is present only for the root node. This is because all data on a non-root node comes From mirror or backup connections, and mirroring and Backups create their own Snapshots. Therefore there is no Reason for a non-root node To generate additional Snapshots on its own schedule, because they would contain no new data.
If a Policy has been applied To a Dataset whose root storage set contains OSSV Directories, then you cannot set a Snapshot schedule for the root node of the Policy. This restriction exists because OSSV Hosts cannot create local Snapshots.
WeeklyRetentionCount xsd:integer
optional
Minimum number of Backups From the weekly Retention class that the system retains on this node. Range: [0..252]. The default Value of this property is 0. This property is present only for root and backup secondary nodes.
For more details, see the Description of DpPolicyNodeInfo.
WeeklyRetentionDuration xsd:integer
optional
The age, in seconds, after which a backup From the weekly Retention class expires on this node. Range: [0..2^31 - 1]. The default Value of this property is 0. This property is present only for root and backup secondary nodes.
For more details, see the Description of DpPolicyNodeInfo.
| Element definition: ObjStatus | [top] |
A Status Value which can be associated with a DFM object. This typedef is an alias for the builtin ZAPI Type string. The Severity associated with an event has this Type. Possible Values are: 'unknown', 'normal', 'information', 'unmanaged' 'warning', 'Error', 'critical', 'emergency'.
In some contexts, it is important that severities are ordered (as above). For example, an alarm might be triggered if an event with a given Severity "or worse" occurs. In this example, worse means "after" in the list above.
- unknown: An object has an unknown Status when it transitions From one state To another. Ideally, an object will have this Status briefly. For example, when an object has been added, but not yet discovered.
- normal: An object has normal Status when it is working within the Thresholds specified in DFM.
- information: The information Events are normal occurrences on an object for which you can define alarms.
- unmanaged: An object is considered To be unmanaged when the login and Password are not set for the storage system or agent.
- warning: An object has the warning Status when an event related To the object occurred that an administrator should know about. The event will not cause Service disruption.
- Error: An object has Error Status when it does not cause any Service disruption, but it may affect performance.
- critical: An object has critical Status when it is still performing, but Service disruption may occur if corrective Action is not taken immediately.
- emergency: An object is in emergency Status when it stops performing unexpectedly and could lose data.
[none]
| Element definition: DpPolicyNodeName | [top] |
Name of a node in a DP Policy graph. This typedef is an alias for the builtin ZAPI Type string. A node Name may contain From 1 To 64 characters. It may start with any character and may contain any combination of characters, except that it may not consist solely of decimal digits ('0' through '9'). The Name of each node in a DP Policy must be unique, but nodes in different policies may share the same Name. Node names are always compared in a case-insensitive manner. This means that, for example, "a" and "A" are considered To be the same Name for purposes of: creating new nodes for a new Policy, renaming nodes of an existing Policy, or looking up a Policy's nodes by Name. On the other hand, ZAPIs that return node names do not change the capitalization at all. For example, if a node's Name has been set To "Backup", then DpPolicyListIterNext returns its Name as "Backup".
Note that a node Name has the same format as an ObjName, and has similar Properties such as case-insensitivity. However, a node Name is not a kind of ObjName because a DP Policy node is a part of a DP Policy object, but is not itself a first-class DFM object.
[none]
