Ok, just wanted to clarify. Those would be different management classes even
though they have the same name.

Yes, exactly.  We have a domain with its own copygroup, storage pools,
etc.  We just reuse the names of the management classes and assign
different retention to them inside of those.  Since our management classes
are pretty standardized anyway, it's not too complicated to do.

hmmmm.......
so would you define a new copygroup in the new domain with new retention
rules using the same managment class (name)?

Joy,

Our approach has been to create a separate domain which contain the same
management classes that the data is already bound to.  In this way, we

can

move the affected nodes to the new domain with no rebinding of data, and
maintain the inactive as well as the active data.  It also allows TSM to
continue tracking and protecting the data  We then, of course, expect

the

platform areas to restore the data they need to a separate location, so
that we aren't stuck with open-ended interminable retention requirements
that no one can agree to revert....

Hope this is useful!

Kathleen

Sropping expiration for specific clients






Hello,
 Due to a legal request we are being asked not to expire any data for
some specific TSM clients. Is there a way to exclude a group of clients
from expiring any data for a time period? I see there is a way to do
this for archived data. I'm talking incremental backup data. If I stop
expiring altogether I think it wouldn't be long before I put my whole
environment at risk. The only way I can think of to do this would be to
rename all filespaces where I suspect there might be data I do not want
to expire. This however would cause all those renamed filespaces to back
up in full tonight. We're talking several TB of file server data. Any
ideas? Sincerely, Joy
