Phil,
Looking at my ADSM installation, I find no "DEFAULT" Management class, but
a "Query MGMTclass" shows which class has been assigned to "default".
You could set up a new Managment Class, then issue the "ASSIGN DEFMGMTCLASS
domain setname classname" to associate this new class to DEFAULT. (Gotta
ACTIVATE POLICYSET) also.
I checked the quantity of backups of a filesystem and found 10 copies of a
dataset.
I performed an incremental against the file system and checked the quantity
of backups again. The new copyg in the managment class had dropped the
copies to 5, as I had defined.
A query backup still shows the managment class as "Default", but is now
using the new rules.
If you define a new Domain, simply issue a "UPD NODE nodename
DOM=newdomain"
Hope I understand your questions and have provided answers in the right
direction.

Subject: move nodes to a new domain?
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,
Phil_G-B
