Hi all,

Once again, a mystery concerning directories backups !

Environment : TSM server 5.1.6.2 on aix 4.3.3. client 4.2.2.1 on aix 4.3.3
Problem : a node named pacrs040, belonging a domain called "AIX" uses a 
management class called "mgmt-sap-l1" to store it's directories structure, but 
no file is written in the corresponding storage pool. How do you explain that ??
Some details :

I understand that TSM uses the mgmt_class having the longest retension period 
to store the directory structure, but what escapes me is that I can't find that 
data in the destination storage pool ! Off course, this is only one example, I 
have several tens of nodes behaving like that ...
Would that mean that all directory structure for all those nodes (all AIX) is 
stored in TSM DB ?
Thanks for your explanations ;-)
Cheers.

Arnaud
