John,
I too had many domains. One for each client os and eveing application,
Oracle exchange SAP. It was a nightmare with copy groups. After much thought
and consultation with Tivoli I have rationalized it to two domains.
The process was slow in that we moved so many clients a day, and had to
restart the scheduler.
One domain is for application servers, or systems less than 30GB storage,
without collocation in it's storage pool. Another inessence is for database
servers such as Oracle, Exchange and SAP and also NAS with collocation
andit's own storage pool. I have also set up pool NAS_TAPE that collates on
filespace for both NFS and CIFS. We also have a pool for disaster recovery.
I have set up schedules to start at various times during the evening and
spread the clients across those, e.g client_2000 starting at 20:00.
It'll be a lot of work but it makes it so much easier. This was not
completed on the original node as we moved to a new service, but I got the
comfort factor seeing how it worked.
Kind Regards

Subject: Rationalise policy domains
Historically I have a number of policy domains based on client os.
Well it seemed a good idea at the time.
My question is I now want to rationalise all the policy domains into say
two,
but with the least disruption or work at client level(none if possible)
My main concern is that I will lose all the schedules and their
associations,
and that I will need on netware for example to reload the scheduler on the
client to pick
up the new schedule information.
I think I may also need to stop/ start the scheduler for nt clients
Am I correct in these beliefs?
I know that I will need to ensure that the new domains contain the same
management classes, to avoid rebinding, but are there any other things I
need to
be aware of.
Thanks
John
