Are you saying that the VALIDATE is actually a required step? I thought that it just
verified the policyset was acceptable for activation, but did not really do anything
else. I also thought the ACTIVATE did a validation as part of its process. Since I
had copied mgmtclass and copybooks from existing ones and was confident they were
correct, I just did the ACTIVATE. It worked without any problem. Then I had the
client stop and start their scheduler process and update their dsm.opt file for the
INCLUDE pointing to the new mgmtclass. So, is the VALIDATE really required to make
this work?
Thanks

Hi
remember that when you make changes to your policy set, you must first
validate it before activating it.
Also if you are using the include exclude list, you must insert this list into
your dsm.sys file.

Run a "select * from backups where node_name='NODENAME'" from
the TSM administrative prompt. Find out what management class is
being used. If the management class is DEFAULT, then either the include
statement doesn't match the objects being backed up, the management class
does not exists in the active policy for the nodes domain. The management
class may not exist because there was a syntax error in the include
statement, the policy was not activated, or the node does not belong to the
domain where you put the new mgmtclass.
For trouble shooting post the following.
q node NODENAME (replace nodename with the appropriate value)
q mgmtclass DOMAIN active (replace domain with the domain from q node)
dsm.opt (from the node having the problem)
