The QoS Policy Manager databases contain the policies and other definitions you create in the Policy Manager application. Distribution Manager uses the information in these databases to apply your policies to the identified network devices.
These topics cover tasks associated with QoS Policy Manager database management.
You can open a QoS database on any drive accessible on the NT network.
Save your work in the currently open QoS database.
You can create a new QoS database when you want to isolate new policies from old policies, or experiment with policy definitions.
Save your work in the currently open QoS database.
QoS Policy Manager creates a new database. When you save the database, QoS Policy Manager prompts you for a file name for the database.
You can change the name of a QoS database by saving it using a new name.
If you no longer need a database, you can delete it. The database should not contain any active policies.
You cannot delete the database that is currently held in the QoS Policy Manager's QoS Manager (the backend process).
Ensure that the database you intend to delete does not contain active policies.
If the database contains policies you distributed to the network, and you delete the database without first deleting the policies, the policies remain on the devices. QoS Policy Manager cannot recognize these policies as having been created originally in QoS Policy Manager, so to change or remove them once you delete the database you must use IOS commands directly on the devices.
If the database contains policies that you distributed to the network, and you no longer want those policies to be active on the network.
Step 2 Delete the policies and save the database.
Step 3 Distribute the saved database using Distribution Manager. You can now delete the database. You can also recreate the deleted policies in your active QoS database, and redistribute these policies, so that you can continue managing them with QoS Policy Manager.
QoS Policy Manager does not include special facilities for backing up and recovering QoS databases. You must include these databases in your normal backup operations. You can recover the QoS databases just as you recover any other file. There are no special considerations.
