Hi David If you decommission a vm or node, the active version is changed to inactive and the other policy def which you have - e.g. verdel= nolimit - are still recognized.
May be you still have other inactive fullvm versions of your VM somehow connected to your filespace. In any case, If all inactive versions are gone, also the VM filespace should be deleted automatically. test with: q vm <your vm> -ina Normally, the follwoing is not a good idea in a production environement, but in a test environement you could also do a test with copygroup retextra and retonly values of 0 and then do an expire inventory rgds Michael -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] Im Auftrag von David Ehresman Gesendet: Montag, 3.
