This makes absolute sense because rebinding process is driven by a scan of
the current filesystem image on the client and matching against the
database.  During that match if the management class does not match the
active version management class everything is rebound not just the active
backup.

Just tested this to be sure.
Inactive versions are rebound when the active version is rebound.

But in the case where there is NO active version, the inactive versions
won't be rebound at all.
(These would be inactive backup versions of files that have been deleted
from the client.)

Jeff,

I found an explanation for your question in the TSM Admin Guide for AIX,
pages 244-250.   In general, rebinding is done for backup versions if any of
the following applies:

1. The user changes the management class specified in the include-exclude
list and does a backup.
2. An admin activates a policy set in the same policy domain as the client
node and the policy set does no contain a management class with the same
name as the management class to which a file is currently bound.
3. An administrator assigns a client node to a different policy domain, and
the active policy set in that policy domain does not have a management class
with the same name.

The inactive versions will be rebound to the associated management class of
the next backup.

Hope this helps.

Kelly,

        For active files, I have seen this is the case.  I was not aware
that after a file was marked inactive by the client that the inactive file
was examined or changed by the client?

        What process on the server then would change the management class
for inactive files?  I am not indicating that it does or does not, but I
would like to better understand this aspect or rebinding a management class.
