Re: Rationalise policy domains

2002-08-29 Thread William F. Colwell

John, if you set the "Query Schedule Period" to a low number,
say 4 hours, you will be able to change the domain and schedule
and avoid having the client schedule obtain a schedule
which you then delete.  In the admin ref, see the set command for
query schedule period and try to find some guidance on it
in the admin guide.  I haven't done this but I think it will work.

Re: Rationalise policy domains

2002-08-28 Thread Jim Kirkman

John,

My understanding is that if you are using the managedservices (or cadmode depending
on client version) option for scheduling then changes in schedules are picked up by
the dsmcad and restarts are no longer required. If, on the other hand you are just
using the scheduler service then restarts probably are required.

Re: Rationalise policy domains

2002-08-28 Thread Cory Heikel

We are running 1 domain per node. At first I thought this would be an
administrative nightmare, but it really isn't. It also makes changes and
exceptions easier because you know that when you change any settings in
the domain you are affecting just one node. I actually like running this
way.

Just my 2 cents.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/28/02 03:56AM >>>
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.

Historically I have a number of policy domains based on client os.

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
