Define a VM policy by watermark levels

This method creates a volume management (VM) migration policy that directs the system to migrate or purge files when the specified watermark level (capacity) is reached within the source volume. The only migration options that you can specify using this method are the source and destination volumes, and the watermark levels of the source volume. You cannot define any additional migration options or query options. Procedure Open the Volume Management view. Type a name for the migration policy in the Policy Name box. If you create both VM and hierarchical storage management (HSM) migration policies at your site, implementing a naming convention that differentiates between the two types simplifies managing your policies from the Policies tree after the policies are created. Type a description of the migration policy in the Policy Description box. Click the Definition tab. In the Policy Type section in the upper-right corner of the pane, click Volume Policy. In the Policy Status section in the upper-right corner of the pane, click Active. In the Volume Migration Options section, click Water Mark Levels. The remaining migration options become specific to this migration method. Select a source volume from the Source Volume list. Select the volume from which you want to migrate the data. Note The list displays all defined volumes for the Teamcenter database. If you do not see a volume you created during this session, close and reopen the Volume Management application. Select a destination volume from the Destination Volume list. Select the volume to which you want the data migrated. Select a watermark percentage from the High Water Mark list. When the capacity of the source volume reaches this percentage of capacity, migration begins. Select a watermark percentage from the Low Water Mark list. When the capacity of the source volume drops to this percentage level, migration ends. After you finish defining the data to be migrated, click Create at the bottom of the pane to create the migration policy. The migration policy appears under the Policies tree. Results After one or more migration policies are defined, you can preview the results of the migration, then migrate the data.
