Re: Help Understanding Mgmt classes

Re: filesystems and directories under the same name

Common problem ! Look into the use of braces... { } When something gets altered like this use braces to explicitly specify the filespace name... so on your query try either q backup {/inbound/site}/* or q backup {/inbound}/site/* One of the two will give you what you want...

Re: filesystems and directories under the same name

I had the same experience. I ended up removing the original filespace (/inbound/site), but you could rename it...as you have another (/inbound)look/check via the q filespace command. GUI doesn't work, but command line should (check)...q back or q arch... good luck. hope this helps. TW

Re: filesystems and directories under the same name

For aix, I don't believe that TSM works that way...removing a filesystem (all activity stops...) is different in TSM's eyes than removing a file (file(s) change to inactive...delete policies take effect, etc)(from what I've seen). * reminder...if you archive from that filesystem, then you may not

Re: number of clients poll

Our largest TSM server backs up about 30 medium-sized servers and 425 workstations. Total data ~ 150 GB/day. Largest client sends 18 GB/day, Oracle TDP sends about 12 GB/day, the rest is all small files. TSM server is a very ordinary RS6000 F50, with a mixture of SSA and SCSI disk, 1GB memory.

Re: Management Class problem

Unless you specify a mgt class for DIRMC, it by design is bound to the mgt class/copy group in that Domain with the longest retention period as defined in the copy group. In other words, higher than anything else in that Policy Domain's Active Policy Set. That's a quick answer, condensed from

I'm pretty sure as long as you just CHANGE the archive group it will change the retention settings. Dale was talking about creating a NEW archive group. If Dale wanted to change the retention value for 3_Month to actually 1 month he would be better of changing the retention value for 3_Month to 1
