TSM Server 5.1.8.0 on AIX; TSM Client 5.1.6.0 on Windows 2000 I have a situation where over time, the location of data on our network has moved from server to server. In many cases we moved the identity of the first server to the second server, but the data paths were not duplicated exactly. For example,
\\server_name\d$\current_root_path\... \\*\*\old_root_path\... where "current_root_path" and "old_root_path" are peers under the same "d$" parent. Because the "old_root_path" became invalid on the first backup of the new server, all the data under it was marked inactive by TSM. No problem there. Once the RetOnly duration elapsed, all the FILES were purged from that path. Again, no problem there. But the directories were retained, probably because they were bound to "no limit" permanent management classes prior to our implementing DIRMC controls. Meaning those directories will live for the duration of the server's identity or our TSM system, whichever ends first. Those duplicate paths confuse our Help Desk. I would like to delete just the contents under "old_root_path" since there are no files under that path. But because both root paths are under the same filespace, I can't delete the filespace. I turned on the permission "node can delete backups" but that still didn't let me kill that directory tree. So, is there a way to kill the directory tree under "old_root_path" other than killing the entire filespace? TIA Tab Trepagnier TSM Administrator Laitram, L.L.C.
