You can create a proposed ILM policy from scratch, or you can clone the current active policy if you want to start with the same set of rules.
About this task
Typical reasons for creating a proposed ILM policy include:
- You added a new site or created a new storage pool.
- You added a new tenant that has special data protection requirements.
- You started to use a Cloud Storage Pool.
- New storage retention requirements were defined. For example, you need to comply with regulations that require object data to be preserved for a specified amount of time.
