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.
	Datacenter Name
	Datastore Name
	Host Name
	OS Type
	Power State	Equals, Does not equal	The Power State attribute is applicable only to virtual machines, and enables filtering of virtual machine hosts based on the state of the host.
	vCenter Name	Begins with, Contains, Does not contain, Does not equal, Ends with, Equals, Matches RegEx, Does Not Match RegEx	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.
	VM Display Name

	VM Resource Pool
	VM Size	Greater than, Less than
	VM Tags	Equals, Does not equal, In, Not in
File systems	File System Name	Begins with, Contains, Does not contain, Does not equal, Ends with, Equals, Matches RegEx, Does Not Match RegEx
	Host Name
	Cluster Name

SQL databases	Application Name	Begins with, Contains, Does not contain, Does not equal, Ends with, Equals, Matches RegEx, Does Not Match RegEx
	DB Name
	Host/Cluster/Group Name
	Host Type	Equals
Oracle databases	DB Name	Begins with, Contains, Does not contain, Does not equal, Ends with, Equals, Matches RegEx, Does Not Match RegEx	The addition of a protection rule is not supported for a newly discovered Oracle Data Guard asset. When a PowerProtect Data Manager system is updated from an earlier version, the Oracle Data Guard asset continues to be associated with previously defined protection rules.
