Editing an ILM rule

You might need to edit an ILM rule to change a filter or placement instruction. You cannot edit the stock ILM rule (Make 2 Copies), ILM rules listed in the active policy, ILM rules listed in the proposed policy, or ILM rules created before StorageGRID Webscale version 10.3.

Before you begin

You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
To perform this task, you need specific access permissions. For details, see information about controlling system access with administration user accounts and groups.

Steps

Select ILM > Rules.
The ILM Rules page appears. This page shows all available rules and indicates which rules are being used in the active policy or the proposed policy.
Select a rule that is not being used, and click Edit.
The Edit ILM Rule wizard opens.
Complete the pages of the Edit ILM Rule wizard, following the steps for creating an ILM rule and using advanced filters, as necessary.
When editing an ILM rule, you cannot change its name.
Click Save.
