You can only change the retention of the management class.  You don't
rebind if the files are already bound to the management class you change.
(You don't change retention by volume)
If you can change the retention by the node, then you can move the nodes
to a new domain with the same name management classes.  Than just change
the expiration of those management classes

Re: [ADSM-L] Change retention policy on specific volumes





The specific volumes are determined by a SQL query, the tapes are in the
primary tapepool.  Multiple nodes are affected.

Data on specific volumes...
How do you know what is on those volumes?
Need more information...
Is this copy pool data?
Is it data for a single node and you know what is on it because of
collocation?

Subject: [ADSM-L] Change retention policy on specific volumes

Hi All,

I have been asked to move multiple volumes to another storage pool so that
I
can change the retention to no limit.  I do not want to change all of the
volumes on a node, only select volumes.  I know that retention is
determined
by the management class and if you change the management class it rebinds
on
the next backup but I need to be able to change it on existing volumes
without backing up again or changing it on all of the data.  Is there any
way to do this and if so, how can I accomplish this quickly.  We were
informed today and they want it by tomorrow.  Thanks for the help.
