This window allows an administrator to manage tape migration policies and their subsystem-specific
overrides.
Subsystem-specific policies define migration rules to be applied on a subsystem basis instead of using the
default (basic) migration policy. When a migration run occurs and the storage class’s migration policy
does not have a subsystem-specific migration policy with the same subsystem ID, then the basic
migration policy will be applied; otherwise, the matching subsystem-specific migration policy will be
used. Click the Create Tape button on the Migration Policies window to create a new policy. To bring
up the configuration for an existing policy, select the policy from the list and click on the Configure
button.
