PowerScale OneFS 9.8.0.0 Backup and Recovery Guide

Assign a storage policy and schedule to a client

With Commvault Simpana, you must assign a policy and schedule to a client before you can back up data from an PowerScale cluster that is associated with the client.

1. In the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers, expand <PowerScale-cluster-name>, expand NAS, and then select the name of a backup set.
2. To specify a new subclient, right-click in the Subclients window and select All Tasks > New Subclient.
   The Subclient Properties window appears.
3. Enter a name for the subclient.
4. Select the Content tab and enter the full path of the directory you are backing up in the Backup Content Path field.
5. Click Add.
6. Select the Advanced Options tab and enter the number of data readers you are using. If you are doing a multi-stream backup, this number cannot exceed the number of tape devices you specified when creating the NDMP library.
7. Select the Storage Policy tab and select the storage policy you created from the Storage Policy drop-down list.
8. Click OK.
   The Backup Schedule window appears.
9. Select Do Not Schedule to perform the backup manually at any time. Select the other options to associate the backup with an existing schedule policy, or to specify a date and time to perform the backup.
10. Click OK.
