I am reposting this, because I got no takers on the original.
Anyone got any thoughts on the differences between a default management class as
nominated
for each policy domain and the the class_name "default" as assigned by TSM.
Thanks,
John

Subject:  Default management class  (Document link: John Naylor)

Here is one that someone might like to enlighten me on
I ran a query to extract all the management classes in use by each client from
the backups table
That probably was not a good move as it runs for a heck of a long time.
Well it finished eventually and I got my listing.
Quite a few clients included a management class of "default"
This is not the deault management class for each policy domain, as I use a
management class
called "standard" for this.
Ok since not all the clients use DIRMC, I assumed this would be for directories,
where the underlying management class would be the one with the longest
retention.
The first client I looked at showed the majority were files.
I looked in more detail and saw that the date of the backups was the date the
client was registered
Ok, so I am assuming here that the default class is because a backup was issued
before the dsm.opt was entered with the proper incl/excl/management class
statements.
The question is then:-

Are the retention values for the files "default" different from those for the
directories "default".
If you have a default management class set up for each domain does the file
"default" class take those values or some other values, and if so how do you
find out what they are
Finally for someone who really knows the internals, if the retention values are
different for "default"
for files against directories, how does TSM match this up.
Does it have to run separate expiration for files against directories,
Thanks
