Use this command to define a new policy domain. A policy domain contains policy sets, management classes, and copy groups. A client is assigned to one policy domain. The ACTIVE policy set in the policy domain determines the rules for clients assigned to the domain. The rules control the archive, backup, and space management services provided for the clients.
You must activate a policy set in the domain before clients assigned to the policy domain can back up, archive, or migrate files.
