Avoid that if you can. You probably can. If you can not, someone else will be able to.
* Normally the node uses the default management class for the domain; then any MC specified by INCLUDE statements. * Log onto the client and run "q inclexcl". The q inclexcl command will show you all includes and excludes in the dsm.opt, inclexcl file, or client option set. Check the listing, looking for includes, then for mgmt class names next to the includes. * Also, directories will automatically use the management class with the longest retention in the domain (unless the client is using a "dirmc" option.) You certainly can run a select against the largest of the tables, but it should be done carefully. Smart folks advise against it. It is a very intensive query. If there are many objects for this client, try to limit the query as much as possible by using index keys. Try running the select against one filespace at a time for example. If you have many filespaces and that seems to tedious, it is an indicator that you need to do it! I was just wondering if anyone knows a script that I can run to find out what management class is utilized by node hmpg1018? Would I need to run: select * from backups where node_name='HMPG1018'?
