Adding a Storage Rule
Adding a Storage Rule
Administrators can add a new storage rule to define the automatic selection of a specific storage group.
Administrators can add as many storage rules as needed.
To add a new storage rule:
- On the Rule List page (see Configuring Storage Rules), click Add New Rule. The Rule Details page opens.
Rule Details Page
- Enter a Name and a Description for the new rule.
- Enter parameters for the rule. Use the Operators Used in Rule Parameters section to create parameters.
- Click Save.
The Rosetta system uses the storage rule in order of priority, as described in Re-ordering the List of Storage Rules.
Updating a Storage Rule
Administrators can update a storage rule in order to modify input and output parameters.
To update a storage rule:
- On the Rule List page (see Configuring Storage Rules), locate the rule you want to update and click Edit. The Rule Details page opens.
- Modify the fields you want to update, and then click Save.
The storage rule is updated in the Rosetta system.
Defining the Default Storage Rule
Administrators must configure a default storage rule. In the event that the Rosetta system cannot find a rule that matches any of the storage rules, the system uses the default storage rule.
To define the default storage rule:
- On the Rule List page (see Configuring Storage Rules), in the Default Rule pane, click Update. The Default Rule Details page opens.
- In the Output Parameters pane, in the Result drop-down list, select the storage group to be used by default.
- Click Save.
The Rosetta system now uses the selected storage rule as the default rule.
Re-Ordering the List of Storage Rules
To define a storage group that must be used for storing an object, the Rosetta system compares the input parameters defined in a storage rule with the parameters of the storage group.
Storage rules are analyzed in the same order in which they are displayed on the Rule List page. The Rosetta system uses the first storage rule found that matches the parameters of the storage group.
To re-order the list of storage rules:
- On the Rule List page (see Configuring Storage Rules), select each relevant rule and use the up and down arrows to change the rule’s priority.
- Click Save.
The Rosetta system now processes the storage rules in the defined order.
Deleting a Storage Rule
Administrators can delete an existing storage rule. After a storage rule is deleted, it is no longer available to the Rosetta system for matching.
To delete a storage rule:
- On the Rule List page (see Configuring Storage Rules), locate the storage rule you want to delete and click Delete. The confirmation page opens.
- Click OK.
The storage rule is deleted from the Rosetta system.
Activating and Deactivating a Storage Rule
Administrators can activate or deactivate a storage rule. After a storage rule is deactivated, it is no longer available to the Rosetta system for matching.
On the Rule List page, the status of the storage rule is indicated by the check mark in the Active column:
- Yellow - The storage rule is active.
- Grey - The storage rule is inactive.
To activate or deactivate a storage rule:
- On the Rule List page (see Configuring Storage Rules), locate the storage rule you want to activate or deactivate.
- In the Active column, click the check mark. The check mark in the Active column indicates the new status.
The storage rule is changed from active to inactive, or from inactive to active.
