That doesn't sound very encouraging...................

By "same management class", you mean named the same ?

This is one of the reasons I want to move this and other nodes from this
PD/PS/MC to another, newly defined one. The MC that was assigned as
default really doesn't work for these nodes.

If I redefine the old MC in the new PD/PS, but NOT as the DEFAULT, would
that be enough to avoid loosing data ?

I thought the move would simply rebind existing backups/archives to the
new default MC ????

Be very careful moving a node to a different domain.  You must make sure
that the new domain has the same management classes or else it will
receive
the default for that domain and most likely delete your files.  Trust me I
have done this and have lost important data and then I had to rollback to
a
previous database backup to get the data back...

I am doing some reorganization and want to moving a node to a different
Policy Domain.

What are the ramifications of this ?   Any gotchas ?  Pitfalls ?
