I migrate the individual dumps directly to ML2 for 30 days. I migrate them once they reach 3 days in age. If I need it longer than that then I just change the mgmtclas. Mostly, any problems are fixed within that time. If you have dumps that you don't want that get migrated, just HDEL them.
This works whether the volume is sms managed or not. It's just easier to manage if it's SMS managed. I would not migrate them to ML1. IN any case, you should use whatever values you can live with. If you don't know how to process the dumps, then keeping them at all is probably a waste of time. :) Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
