Storing Retention Sets (Retention Policy)

Retention sets are kept for the Retention period specified as part of the Retention Policy configuration.

An expired Retention set is deleted as long as no other Retention set is dependent on it. In case there are dependencies, the Retention set is marked for deletion and will be deleted once all dependencies are removed.

In addition, Retention sets are managed for:

•

Deleted VPGs, or for VPGs with disabled Extended Journal Copy.

•

A ZVM that was reinstalled on the same VM.
