Avoid that if you can.
You probably can.  If you can not, someone else will be able to.

* Normally the node uses the default management class for the domain;
then any MC specified by INCLUDE statements.

* Log onto the client and run "q inclexcl".   The q inclexcl command
will show you all includes and excludes in the dsm.opt, inclexcl file,
or client option set.  Check the listing, looking for includes, then for
mgmt class names next to the includes.

* Also, directories will automatically use the management class with the
longest retention in the domain (unless the client is using a "dirmc"
option.)

You certainly can run a select against the largest of the tables, but it
should be done carefully.  Smart folks advise against it.  It is a very
intensive query.  If there are many objects for this client, try to
limit the query as much as possible by using index keys.  Try running
the select against one filespace at a time for example.  If you have
many filespaces and that seems to tedious, it is an indicator that you
need to do it!

I was just wondering if anyone knows a script that I can run to find out
what management class is utilized by node hmpg1018?  Would I need to
run: select * from backups where node_name='HMPG1018'?
