If the new domain has the same management classes as the old domain,
all you do is :  update node blah domain=newname.

If the old domain has no management classes other than DEFAULT, that's
also no problem.

If the new domain does NOT have the same management classes as the old
domain, think hard about what you want to happen.
If TSm can't map a file to a management class in a new domain, it will
use the grace period, I think, to control versions.

If the new domain/management class points the files to a new storage
pool.... nothing at all happens.
Changing domains does NOT cause the movement of any data.
If you want to relocate the data, use MOVE NODEDATA after you change the
domain.

Hope that helps.

Subject: Moving a node from one domain to another


Is there a safe way to move one node (and all the corresponding archive
and backup data) from one policy domain to another?
