Naming and enabling a policy

Naming and enabling a policy

  • Taking the best practices stated above into account, the “Policy Name” field should be descriptive enough for administrators to easily gather the policy workflow, as several policies could be configured on a cluster. A unique name makes it easy to recognize and manage. Additionally, the “Description” field can be used to explain further.

    The “Enable this policy” checkbox is a powerful option allowing an administrator to start configuration prior to a target cluster or directory being ready for replication. Temporarily disabling a policy allows for a less intrusive option to deleting a policy when it may not be required. Additionally, after completing the configuration for a policy, it can be reviewed for a final check, prior to enabling.
