Backup with tsm question

Hi,
you need first to define a storage pool, for example:

1. define stgpool TAPESTG LTOCLASS maxscratch=100 recl=100 hi=100 REU=1 COL=no

then you need to have a policy point to that stgpool, for example:

2.
define domain PD_NEW backretention=60
define policyset PD_NEW PS_NEW
def mgmt PD_NEW PS_NEW MC_NEW
define copygroup PD_NEW PS_NEW MC_NEW standard destination=TAPESTG
assign defmgmtclass PD_NEW PS_NEW MC_NEW
validate policyset PD_NEW PS_NEW
activate policyset PD_NEW PS_NEW

now all nodes belonging to PD_NEW will backup their data into TAPESTG

of course, depending by your requisites, things may vary: you might want a policy that first goes to a disk stgpool and then migrate to tape, but this will pertain a whole tsm project

hope this helps

Hi,


But as regards the nodes that are now registered under another domain, do I have to do what operations to associate them with the new configuration?

well, that depends on your scenario ...

you need to update node to reflect changes:
  upd node <nodename> domain=<newdomain>

then your node will start saving data with new domain policy ... what happens to old backups ???

you may want to leave them where they are until expire; or rather delete them; or move to the new policy domain: in this last case:

   move nodedata specifying from=old_sequential_stgpool to=the_new_one

then you should take care of schedules, which you will have to recreate in associations between node and domain

Hi,

Still a question if I wanted to keep the same domain and policy set?

the answer is satisfactory
