Hello Can anyone explain exactly which management class is used for archived directories, and whether this is stable or liable to be rebound?
The more I read, the more confused I become. I'm looking at IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide Version 5 Release 1 Chap 8 "Using management classes and copy groups" (p 112 PDF version) says: "If you do not specify a management class for directories, Storage Manager uses the management class in the active policy set specifying the longest retention period." Chap 8 "Selecting a management class for directories" (p 118 PDF version) says: "Note: For archive operations, directories are assigned to a management class whose retention period meets or exceeds that of the files contained in those directories. The management class is rebound as needed to ensure that directories with files do not expire." Chap 9 "dirmc" (p 160 PDF version) says: "Archived directories are always bound to the default management class." I appear to have 3 different opinions in one book! - the one with the longest retention period (presumably not rebound) - any with a long enough retention period, and can be rebound - the default class for the policy domain (presumably not rebound). Which one is correct? We run TSM server 5.1.6.4 on AIX 4.3.3, and client 5.1.5.2 on AIX 4.3.3 and AIX 5.1 (and other combinations). Richard Foster Norsk Hydro asa
