<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">“</span><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> If you are using the
<span class="keyword">TSM Backup-Archive client</span> you must use caution when you unlink filesets that contain data backed up by TSM.
<b>TSM tracks files by pathname and does not track filesets.</b> As a result, when you unlink a fileset, it appears to TSM that you deleted the contents of the fileset. Therefore, the
<span class="keyword">TSM Backup-Archive client</span> inactivates the data on the TSM server which may result in the loss of backup data during the expiration process.”<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is more a TSM question than GPFS but it involves GPFS to a point so I hope I’m ok asking this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve unlinked a fileset and relinked it at a different junction point. Will this cause TSM to see a “new” fileset and back up all its content? This is very undesireable so if I need to put it back where it belongs then I need to do this
before tonight.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GPFS 3.5 and TSM 7.1.<o:p></o:p></p>
