Just a guess but you may want to try it. Ensure the default class and the one with longest retention in that domain do not point to a diskpool (while other used direct backups to tape). We made this work on 4.2.1.15 but actually is unsupported (and maybe I was just lucky). The problem was when the files go to tape and the directories (through longest retention class or explicitly stated DIRMC) go to disk.

I've been backing up happily over the LAN with TDP for R/3 3.2.0.12 to a TSM 4.2.3 server on AIX. Now I've switched back to lanfree. The Storage Agent is at the same level as the server. I'm getting the following message on the server. ANR9999D (Session: 60041, Origin: GISR07_SA) smnode.c(7828): ThreadId<11> Error obtaining copy group name for ID 1 during Session 4849. I seem to remember there was some mention of difficulties in rebinding between management classes when moving between lanfree backups and lan backups, however I thought the problem only showed itself if you tried to change the management class whilst using lanfree and that the 'cure' was to send data over the lan where it would successfully rebind. I've been off lanfree for a few weeks - true, the management class whilst on the lan has been successfully changed. Just what is the story here? Thanks to anyone who can shine a light on this - and I steel myself for a scolding if this has indeed already been mentioned. Regards, Eric Winters Sydney Australia
