I am in the middle of a consolidation of a few TSM servers and as such have the opportunity to sort of redesign the way our domains are structured. It is currently configured by operating system, and them specific operating systems that are set to replicate via our storage device.
I am trying to use this as an opportunity to implement a "retention tier" classification that is easy to understand with the domains, for example:
Platinum: 30 days 30 versions replicated
Gold 30 days 30 versions
Silver 30 days 14 versions
Bronze 30 days 7 versions
Gold, siver and bronze going to the same VTL, Platinum going to a completely separate DR VTL.
What are your thoughts on this? I don't see why I should need separate domains for operating systems. I can use cloptsets to group servers with specific exclusion needs (one for all common windows systems exclusions, one for all Linux common exclusions etc). Would I be shooting myself in the foot in some way I am not seeing?
