PowerProtect Data Manager 19.14 SAP HANA User Guide

Protection rule attributes and criteria

The following table provides a list of the available rule attributes and criteria for all asset types that support the application of protection rules to policies. The available matching criteria depend on the selected attribute.

Table 1. Supported attributes and matching criteria by asset typeSupported attributes and matching criteria by asset type
Asset type Supported attributes Matching criteria Notes
Virtual machines Cluster Name Begins with, Contains, Does not contain, Does not equal, Ends with, Equals, Matches RegEx, Does Not Match RegEx If using the Host Name for a virtual machine protection rule to determine which assets get included, ensure that you do not specify a host in a cluster. If you specify a host in a cluster, PowerProtect Data Manager will not protect the virtual machine assets under this host because although these assets are currently running within this host, they are not owned by the host and can be switched to another host under the same cluster at any time.

  • The VM Folder Name and VM Resource Pool attributes support protection for all virtual machine assets and resource pools in the selected folder and its subfolders.
  • Regular expressions for the VM Folder Name and VM Resource Pool attributes use Google RE2J syntax. The operators and effects on the Optional tab of the dialog box are unavailable for these attributes. However, the operators and effects on the Unsupported tab are available, as are the standard regular expression predefined character classes. For example, \d for a digit.

    Regular expressions for all other attributes use ElasticSearch regex syntax. These expressions do not support predefined character classes.

    Because predefined character classes are valid for some attributes, the UI does not mark these classes as invalid syntax. This is true even for attributes where such classes are not supported.
