Administrator's Reference
Use this command to define a new policy domain. A policy domain
contains policy sets, management classes, and copy groups. A client is
assigned to one policy domain. The ACTIVE policy set in the policy
domain determines the rules for clients assigned to the domain. The
rules control the archive, backup, and space management services provided for
the clients.
You must activate a policy set in the domain before clients assigned to the
policy domain can back up, archive, or migrate files.
Privilege Class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Parameters
- domain_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the policy domain to be defined. The maximum
length of this name is 30 characters.
- DESCription
- Specifies a description of the policy domain. This parameter is
optional. The maximum length of the description is 255
characters. Enclose the description in quotation marks if it contains
any blank characters.
- BACKRETention
- Specifies the number of days (from the date the backup versions became
inactive) to retain backup versions of files that are no longer on the client
file system. This parameter is optional. You can specify an
integer from 0 to 9999. The default value is 30. The server uses
the backup retention value to manage inactive versions of files when any of
the following conditions occur:
- A file is rebound to a new management class, but neither the new
management class nor the default management class contains a backup copy
group.
- The management class to which a file is bound no longer exists, and the
default management class does not contain a backup copy group.
- The backup copy group is deleted from the management class to which a file
is bound and the default management class does not contain a backup copy
group.
- ARCHRETention
- Specifies the number of days (from the date of archive) to retain archive
copies. This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer
from 0 to 9999. The default value is 365. The server uses the
archive retention value to manage archive copies of files when either of the
following conditions occur:
- The management class to which a file is bound no longer exists, and the
default management class does not contain an archive copy group.
- The archive copy group is deleted from the management class to which a
file is bound and the default management class does not contain an archive
copy group.
