Retire clients 1

[bpACH]

We are in the process of retiring clients and have noticed that if we remove a client from all of its policies, it disappears from the client list and we are not able to access the catalog data for that client (for restores).

We have worked around this by creating blank policies of the appropriate policy type.

Is there a better way of doing this?

Make the policy inactive?

I created a single policy named "Free_Parking" where I would "park" all clients regardless of type to serve as a holding ground.

Just because the VERITAS documentation states something as certain, that does not make it a fact and that is truth.

Thank you, I was hoping there was some setting or something that we were missing.

I think that I will look into setting it up similar to Bob's (all clients in a holding policy), it sounds like it may be easier from a change management point of view.

Making the policy inactive is impractical as we are configuring > 1 client per policy.
