Ken,

You're on the right track here.. just missing the fact that you need to
register the Oracle node (for example <hostname>_ORA) in the new domain.
Once you've done this, you effectively have two TSM nodes. One for your new
Oracle node and one for the OS and the rest.

You should be aware that the TSM server will not automatically expire any of
your Oracle backups. They are uniquely named and the only copy group
parameter which should be used is versions exist and this should be set to
1.

Be sure to set your Oracle management class as the default management class
'tsm> assign defmgmtclass <domain> <policyset> mgmtclass' and the activate
the policy set with 'tsm> act pol <domain> <policyset>'

Hope this helps!

Subject: Help-new mgmt class for existing node: how to make this work?


AIX TSM server 4.2.2.10
AIX client 4.2.2.1

My brain is fried and I need help here!


I have an existing node in the STANDARD policy domain and  STANDARD mgmt
class.

We need several of the Oracle DB files to have different file retention
than STANDARD mgmt class.

I have defined a new policy domain with a new oracle mgmt class of desired
file retention for the Oracle DB files.

How do I associate the existing node into the new policy domain/new oracle
mgmt class, AND retain the STANDARD mgmt class on the existing node files?

Can an existing node be associated with 2 policy domains?

or am I approaching this in the wrong way??


Please help my brain is fried!
