Having created both data migration paths and data migration rules, data migration policies can now be created. Policies assign a rule or set of rules to a specific data migration path. They also define the conditions that initiate data migrations.
To view data migration policies, navigate to Home > Storage Management > Data Migration to display a list of policies and schedules.


The following tables describe the fields on this page:
