Hi TSM'ers
on the following system I'm faced to delete ca. 15 filespaces holding a
total of ca. 30 Mio files.
HW: IBM H70, 2GB, SSA + SAN disks
OS: AIX 5.3 ML 04
TSM: 5.3.3, 60 GB DB on SSA & mirrored on SAN, 2 GB LOG ( SSA + SAN)
Doing individual
del filesp node file_space_name
will take days/weeks/months(?) (the biggest filespace owns ca. 19 Mio
files).
The filespaces are all on collocated nodes, i.e. I could even do:
1. Determine the volumes for nodes' data
2. Either
create backupsets of the nodes data to be kept, just
to keep the current state
or
run a selective backup with a different MGMT-class,
sending the data to a different set of tapes
3. run "del vol <volid> discard=yes" for all the volumes
belonging to the node
4. proceed as normal after having finished
Questions:
----------
Q1. Is the sequence of steps 1. - 4. faster than the individual
"del filesp node filespace_name"
Q2. Any idea to do it even faster ?
