Hi all TSMers
Running TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris and have a question regarding the different
way that directories and files are dealt with. I have always been used to
excluding files, directories, file spaces etc and also including them with
different management classes should the need arise for something other than
our standard retention settings. However, I have only just learnt about the
dirmc setting and this has lead me to believe that we probably a few
million entries in our TSM db for directories that are no longer relevant (
the deleted files having been expired after 60 days but the directories
having been bound to one of our higher retention man classes ). So here is
my question.
Lets say I have a retention policy on a dir that states that the only copy
of a file (after deletion), should be kept in backup for 365 days but that
I have a dirmc setting in the clients dsm.sys files that will expire all
deleted directories after just 60 days, how does TSM handle this? What
happens re expiration after 60 days? Do the directories get expired and the
files just end up in some kind of limbo?
Many thanks in advance
