Description

Activated Management Class

A management class is a policy object that users can bind to each file to specify how the server manages the file. The management class can contain a backup copy group, an archive copy group, and space management attributes. A copy group determines how the TSM server manages backup versions or archived copies of the file. The space management attributes determine whether the file is eligible for migration by the space manager client to server storage, and under what conditions the file will be migrated.

Backup Retention Days

If a TSM management class is deleted, files that were associated with it need to rebind to another management class. TSM will keep the backup files for a specified number of days until the server is able to rebind the files to an appropriate management class. After this period, the files will no longer be retained. Retention details are defined in the TSM copy group and default retention grace periods for the domain.

Archive Retention Days

If a TSM management class is deleted, files that were associated with it need to rebind to another management class. TSM will keep the archived files for a specified number of days until the server is able to rebind the files to an appropriate management class. After this period, the files will no longer be retained.

Number of Nodes

The number of file servers registered with the TSM server.

Active
