Managing Node Associations with Schedules

You can add and delete nodes from schedules by associating and disassociating the nodes with the schedules. TSM nodes can be associated with more than one schedule.

You can perform the following activities when managing client node associations with schedules.

Task Required Privilege Class
Adding new nodes to existing schedules System or restricted policy over the domain to which the node is assigned
Moving nodes to existing schedules System or restricted policy over the domain to which the node is assigned
Deleting nodes associated with a schedule System or restricted policy over the domain to which the node is assigned
Displaying nodes associated with a specific schedule Any administrator

Adding New Nodes to Existing Schedules

You can add new nodes to existing schedules by associating the node to the schedule. To associate client nodes with a schedule, you can use the administrative Web interface or you can issue the DEFINE ASSOCIATION command from the command line interface. For information, see Associating Client Nodes with Schedules.

Moving Nodes from One Schedule to Another

You can move a node from one schedule to another schedule by:

  1. Associating the node to the new schedule. For information, see Associating Client Nodes with Schedules.
  2. Deleting the association of that node from the original schedule. For information, see Removing Nodes from Schedules.

Displaying Nodes Associated with Schedules

You can display information about which nodes are associated with a specific schedule. For example, you should query an association before deleting a client schedule.

Figure 47 shows the report that is displayed after you enter:

query association engpoldom

Removing Nodes from Schedules

When you remove the association of a node to a client schedule, the client data is no longer managed according to the schedule. However, the remaining client nodes still use the schedule.

To delete the association of the ENGNOD client with the ENGWEEKLY schedule, in the policy domain named ENGPOLDOM, enter:

delete association engpoldom engweekly engnod

Rather than delete a schedule, you may want to delete all associations to it and save the schedule for possible use in the future.
