The following table shows subclient creation and configuration details specific to the SRM Windows File System Agent.
Subclient |
Default Subclient created during install of the Agent | Supports Default Subclient | Supports User Defined Subclient | Contents of the default subclient when user-defined subclient is present | Other Types of subclients supported by the Agent | Notes |

The following Subclient properties can be configured to suit the particular Data Collection and cost analysis needs for your organization:
You can rename a user defined subclient.
The SRM Cost Analysis feature set allows you to calculate the cost of storage and assign these costs to the appropriate Billable Entity that is using that storage. For more information on Cost Analysis and Billable Entities, see Cost Analysis.
You can assign the subclient as a Billable Entity for cost analysis purposes. For step-by-step instructions, see Assign a Subclient as a Billable Entity.
You can configure the content of user-defined Subclients to be a specific subset of the client data (for example, directories or volumes). Keep in mind that content configuration is not applicable for Default Subclients. However any content that you do not distribute to the user-defined subclients will remain in the default subclient.
Filters can be configured to allow specified portions of the content to be excluded from the Subclient and supports the use of Regular Expressions (i.e. wildcards). For more information on Filters and Regular Expressions see, Content, Filters, and Regular Expressions.

Data Collection is useful for the purpose of generating summaries and reports with current statistics from the client. For more information, see SRM Data Collection.
You can start a Data Collection job at this level. For step-by-step instructions, see Run/Schedule a Data Collection Job for an SRM Instance, Agent or Subclient.
Job History allows you to view more detailed information about a job once it is completed. For more information see Job History.
You can view the Job History at the agent and subclient level. For step-by-step instructions, see View Job History Details.
You can schedule jobs at the subclient level to ensure that jobs are automatically performed on a regular basis without user intervention. Scheduling can be based on the standard Gregorian Calendar or a Custom Calendar. For step-by-step instructions, see Create a Job Schedule.
Folder Size gives graphical representation of the space used by data on the client at the subclient level.
For step-by-step instructions, see View Folder Size.
You can view, modify or delete existing operation rules and add new rules which enable/disable certain operations during a time period you specify, thereby ensuring unexpected, time consuming operations do not disrupt the availability of network bandwidth, data, or storage resources when they are most needed. For step-by-step instructions to add an operation rule, see Add an Operation Rule.
