Assigning Non-Default Management Class

[mtatte]

How do you assign a specific management class to a directory AND ALL IT'S SUB-DIRECTORIES? Can it be done with a single DSM.OPT statement?



In a similar manner, can a specific MC be assigned to an entire drive (i.e. a Domain in TSM terminology)?





Sincere thanks in advance for any guidance on this.

Absolutely ---



The key is to put your desired Mgmt Class on the same line as your include statement.

For example, if you want to assign a mgmt class called "Email" to a particular file spec

you would write your include statement as follows:



.....

INCLUDE <FILE SPEC> Email

.....



That's all there is to it.

Thanks for the response but you've missed the point. I know about the MC statement at the end of each include statement but this only assigns the files within the directory specified.



The sub-directories and files below do not re-bind to the new MC and I was wondering how this is achieved without manually specifying each sub-directory.

you have to tell the client you want to include the sub-dirs and files. I do this in unix like this:



include /opt/.../* DEFAULT



I'm sure it's something similar in other OSes...maybe something like



include \\UNC\$DRIVE\dir\dir\...\* MGMTCLASS

or

include "c:\Program Files\...\*" MGMTCLASS



(be very careful about long file names)

Thanks Aaron,



On the "Wintel" server concerned, I used....



INCLUDE "E:\SQL_Dump\...\*.*" SQL65



....and it works like a dream!!
