Re: Re-Binding to a New Mgmt Class

The correct syntax is:
include j:\...\* SQL
"*.*" is incorrect, but may work much of the time. The * is a wildcard
that matches any number of characters, but the . requires an exact
match. So *.* will ONLY match files that have at least one . in the
name.
The ... is a wildcard to match any number of directories. When you
specify j:\* , it only matches files in the root of J:
The easiest way to check the management class is to start the client and
click RESTORE. Browse your way to the files you have backed up on J:.
Scroll to the far right, and you can see what management class the file
is bound to.

Subject: Re-Binding to a New Mgmt Class
We are curently running TSM 5.3,2.3 on a RS6000
running AIX.
We have a Windows 2003 Server which has 5 filesystems
that currently backup to our standard backup policy
which states to delete files in 45 days.
The problem is that we only need to keep 8 copies of 1
of these filesystems.
We have created a new management class named SQL on
the TSM server and found from TSM documentation that
we needed to have the windows team enter the following
into their dsm.opt file.
include j:\*.* SQL
We have also tried;
include "j:\*.*" SQL <--- With Quotes &
include j:\* SQL <----- Just 1 *
J is the drive on the windows server that we need to
only keep 8 copies of.
We then had the team stop and restart the TSM
Scheduler Service and then run a backup of this drive.
After the backup completed, we ran expire and the
additional 38 copies were not removed. We reviewed
the dsmsched.log and did not see where this drive did
a re-binding to the new mgmt class.
My question is, did we put the option in the dsm.opt
file correctly.
When I do a q fi for this node, the filespace reads:
\\bjcnxcls01\j$
So does the include statement need to look like the
following:
include \\bjcnxcls01\j$ SQL
Any help would be appreciated.
