Viewing Migration Policies

This operation enables you to view migration policies of a namespace.

Context

Procedure

  1. Choose Resources > Tuning > SmartTier > Migration Policy.
  2. Select a desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
  3. Select a desired file directory from the list on the left. Migration policies created for the file directory are displayed in the function pane on the right. Table 1 describes the related parameters.

    • For a directory, if it is created with a policy, such policy is applied preferentially. If the directory is not created with a policy, it inherits the policy created for its parent directory.
    • When a file applies to multiple periodical migration policies, the priority of a policy is determined by its position in the table. Policies are sorted in descending order of priority. By default, policies are sorted by creation time. You can click Up or Down to change the location of a policy in the table.
