Based on your data center requirements, you can create custom rules and add them to a data policy to determine the placement of data that is written to the SVM with Infinite Volume. You can create custom rules from the Create Rule dialog box without using any existing template.
Before you begin
-
You must have the OnCommand Administrator or Storage Administrator role.
-
The cluster containing the SVM with Infinite Volume with storage classes must be added to the Unified Manager database.
About this task
The Data Policy tab is visible only for an SVM with Infinite Volume.
Steps
-
In the left navigation pane, click Health > SVMs.
-
In the Health/Storage Virtual Machines inventory page, select the appropriate SVM.

Click Create.
-
In the Create Rule dialog box, select Custom rule from the Template list.
-
In the Matching Criteria area, add conditions as required.
