Re: Will filespaces be over-written if unix OS is changed?

YES! It will
TSM distinguishes the file from NODE_NAME,FILESPACE_NAME,HL_NAME,LL_NAME.
For example for the file /var/mail/kkwiatek on host mybox the file
attributes will be NODE_NAME='MYBOX', FILESPACE_NAME='/var',
HL_NAME='/mail/' and LL_NAME='kkwiatek'.
I use same node name on my PC using both OS/2, Windows 2000 and Linux but
this is possible through different filespace names - drive C: becomes
filespace OS2 in OS/2, C: --> \\pc300\c$ in Windows and / is '/' in Linux.
So they do not mix.
AIX and Linux are both UNIX and use same naming scheme.

Subject:        Will filespaces be over-written if unix OS is changed?

Hello,

We have a TSM policy of keeping 30 versions of a file for 30 days.

If I have a machine with AIX installed with TSM account name "mybox", and
then take that same machine and install Linux, and keep the TSM account
name
of "mybox", will the AIX data be over-written? I would think that since the
AIX filesystem (/var) equates to a filespace name (/var), that the Linux
filespace would also be the same (/var) and thus version numbers 1 through
29 would be AIX versions of the file, while the current version is the
linux
file....

Thanks for any and all input...

Keith
