To configure a file policy

Purpose

Perform this procedure to configure a file policy that controls the management of accounting statistics files on one or more NEs.

Note: You cannot modify or delete a file policy when the policy is associated with an accounting policy that is administratively enabled. You must set the Administrative State parameter of the corresponding accounting policy to Down before you can modify or delete the file policy. See To configure an accounting policy for more information.

Steps
 

Choose Tools→Statistics→File Policies from the NFM-P main menu. The File Policies form opens.


Click Create, or choose an existing file policy and click Properties. The File Policy (Create) form opens.


Configure the parameters.

Note: Ensure that the NE resources are sufficient to support the file policy and associated accounting policy specifications. The collection, retention, and rollover intervals must be appropriate, and the statistics must be regularly retrieved from the NEs.

Note: Some 7210 SAS devices are equipped with USB flash memory (uf1). In the equipment tree and on Alarm Info forms, the NFM-P displays only Flash Memory. The display does not distinguish between compact flash memory (cf) and USB flash memory (uf).


Click Apply.


Distribute the policy to NEs, as required.


Close the open forms.
