Expiration of TSM data
I have three management classes for file level backup of My system for Daily weekly and Monthly backup.
I have three different storage pools for these three management classes i.e for daily backup, for Weekly backup and for Monthly backup.
The Retention of These three mgt classes is attached
Problem
I take the monthly backup by using the mgt class monthly_MQ_MGT_CLASS, it goes fine then i take the daily backup by WASMQ, i also goes fine
but next day the monthly backup is expired, why this happen
i want to keep my monthly and weekly backup with daily backup on sepate tape as defined in management classes

I guess that the main confusion is that when you backing up the same data to another management class, the OLD data is rebound to that management class. Then the data retention policies are used toward the data, that in the class. Watch for the following in your dsmsched.log:
Total number of objects rebound:
Or, in your activity log:
ANE4960I (Session: 216, Node: TSMSERV) Total number of objects rebound: 0 (SESSION: 216)
If you wish to keep copies on different media, you can define copy storage pools on the media and backup primary storage pool into the copy storage pools. However, all the data will be held by the same management class under the same data retention policies.

is it possible to configure it wiith different node names
Different node names sounds as a solution to what you're trying to accomplish. Data from each node name will be managed independently.
ASKER
how can we do it
please explain it with examples
please explain it with examples
create multiple opt/sys files with different node names and run multiple schedulers for those names.
but really - this is not the way TSM should work. normally it does restore to any point of time expired data omitted.
so you just set policy to keep data as long as you need (like half-year and 30 copies) and get them back with comfort.

can u please give the examples
Examples of what? IBM site full of scenarious for eager to learn.
post your .opt file and I will explain change to be made.

Basically, you need to have multiple schedulers running with different node names, each node is assigned to a different management class on the server.
TSM supports point-in-time recovery, not tape rotation schemes.
Do you have problems with that?

TSM normally does incremental backups, so backing up every day creates very small load on storage.
You have to create 2 more .opt files and select them for 2 extra schedulers - dsmc -c monthly.opt sched
But read TSM admins guide - the way you try is the inefficient one TSM tries to avoid.
4 months every day will be 130 versions for 130 days - piece of cake since 99% of files never change.
