     I have evolved my ADSM environment from a rolling test to a live
     system, with 380 AIX nodes in the STANDARD domain. I have a
     requirement to define another domain for NT and possibly another for
     Notes. As such I would like to rename my 'STANDARD' domain to
     something more meaningful, however,
     1. There is no RENAME DOMAIN command.
     2. A method would be to move nodes from domain to domain but I can
     only do this (I believe) by deleting all a node's filespaces before
     deleting the node and then defining the node in the new domain.

     The following statement on page 40 'ADSM for MVS Administrator's
     Reference' (the ADSM server is on MVS) implies that I can move nodes,
     I just have to be careful, but does anyone know how?

     "...ADSM uses the default management class when....

     ...A client node is reassigned to a different policy domain, and the
     active policy set does not contain management classes with the same
     name as that to which the node's backed up files were bound. The files
     are bound to the default management class if the management class
     contains a backup copy group or an archive copy group [otherwise
     retention grace period is used during expiration]"

     Thanks,
