I mean actual tape volumes, not system volumes.

I think you mean volumes on your system, not TSM volumes. Without
running another backup, I don't believe you can change the retention on
specific volumes. If you change the retention policy in the management
class for the node, all of the data will be retained in that way. You
are correct: if you create a new management class with the desired
retention, then include those volumes requiring that retention in your
dsm.opt file, running another backup will rebind those volumes to the
new management class. That is the only way to be discrete to the volume
level.

Data on specific volumes...
How do you know what is on those volumes?
Need more information...
Is this copy pool data?
Is it data for a single node and you know what is on it because of
collocation?

Hi All,
I have been asked to move multiple volumes to another storage pool so
that I
can change the retention to no limit. I do not want to change all of
the
volumes on a node, only select volumes. I know that retention is
determined
by the management class and if you change the management class it
rebinds on
the next backup but I need to be able to change it on existing volumes
without backing up again or changing it on all of the data. Is there
any
way to do this and if so, how can I accomplish this quickly. We were
informed today and they want it by tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
