Set up different retentions of DBS volumes by diffrent device types (FILE and LTO)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We need the new function in TSM server which allows us to set up defferent DBS volume retetions by different device class types (FILE and LTO).
We have two types database snapshot backups; one uses the FILE device class and another one uses the LTO device class. And we want to keep the FILE type DBS volume for 8 days and LOT type DBS volume for 42 days. But the command of 'delete volhist todat=-8 t=dbs' will delete both type DBS volumes.

We opened the PMR (02705,EUB,649) but we were told there is no way to set up diffrent retentions for the FILE and LTO type DBS volumes. So we have to open this request to add this function to the TSM server software.

Please let me know how long you can complete this request and send me an email when this function is available.

Thanks a lot.
