You can create custom data protection policies with System Manager when the existing default protection policies are not appropriate for your needs. Beginning with ONTAP 9.11.1, you can use System Manager to create custom mirror and vault policies, to display and select legacy policies. This capability is also available in ONTAP 9.8P12 and later patches of ONTAP 9.8.

Create custom protection policies on both the source and destination cluster.

Steps

  1. Click Protection > Local Policy Settings.

  2. Under Protection Policies, click arrow.

  3. In the Protection Policies pane, click plus.

  4. Enter the new policy name, and select the policy scope.

  5. Choose a policy type. To add a vault-only or mirror-only policy, choose Asynchronous, and click Use a legacy policy type.

  6. Complete the required fields.

  7. Click Save.

  8. Repeat these steps on the other cluster.
