This is what I do when I have a client that is no longer required on TSM. 1. delete all the file spaces for the client {delete filespace <nodename> <filespacename> wait=no} This deletes all references to the filespace and the files backed up for that filespace from the TSM database
2. delete the client {remove node <nodename> } This removes all references to the node out of the database. removing a node can also be done using the Administration GUI interface first delete all the filespaces select object view select clients select client nodes select the node to be removed select filespace name from operations drop down list select delete filespace on delete filespace screen select finish This submits a procedure to delete all filespaces for the node second remove the node when the above procedure is completed select object view select clients select client nodes select the node to be removed from operations drop down list select remove this node on the remove node confirmation screen select finish This will submit a process that will remove the node from the TSM server IF any filespaces still exist on the TSM server for the node, the remove will fail. The data and the definition of the node/client now no longer exist as far as TSM is concerned. No expiration is necessary. Hope this helps Bill >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/19/04 8:14:45 AM >>> Hope I am not working from an incorrect premise. We have a client which is disappearing. I would like to do an incremental to set everything to inactive so it will age off gracefully. However, when I gried this yesterday it went ahead and backed up enyway. Tsm server v5.1.6.2 on solaris 2.8. Client v5.1.5.9 running on windows nt v4. Below is a q node, Q filespace, Activity log for the backup session, And the dsm.opt from the client. Someone, what m I missing?
