if you set copygroup to "very large" values (i.e. all 9's) TSM will count the versions on every expiration. Better set to nolimit to improve expiration performance. If we are talking about only one node it might not be significant. But if someone adds more nodes to that domain or the node has many-many files ...
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: expiration Geoff, Inactive version will be expired from the server according to the RETEXTRA and RETONLY parameters. Eventually, only the active set will remain. If you want to keep all the inactive versions, you can copy the domain to a new domain, update the copygroups to have all 9's, activate the policy set, and then update the node to be in the new domain.
