I had the same problem not to long ago.  I found the solution by looking in
the list.

 It's unicode, and you have to indicate that on the delete (stupid software!)

 Delete filespace itgc2ashare \\itcf2ashare\c$ nametype=unicode

 The implication on the 'help delete filespace' is that nametype is not
 required -- but I had the same problem and that was my work-around.

what I did was

TSM>help q filespace     ---->for the exact syntax for the 'nametype='

when I finally saw the file that had not deleted so I did;

TSM>help delete filespace        ---->for the exact syntax for the
'nametype='

What worked for me was ---->  delete filespace <nodename> <filename>
nametype=fsid

I know others have used ---->  delete filespace <nodename> <filename>
nametype=unicode  with success

Hope this helps!

Hi,

TSM 5.1.6.2 running on AIX 5.1

I retired a server several months ago and now I wanted to use the same name
for
a new server to be backed up by TSM.  I generated a backupset for that
server
and then deleted all the filespace of this old server.  When I tried to
do 'remove node oldserver', it complaint objects still exist on it.  I
guessed
I can 'del volh ' to delete that backupset tape.  Unfortunately, I checkout
that tape from the library because I was going to store it.  When I 'check
it
in', now TSM saying that backupset tape is not available for deletion even
though it is now inside the tape library.  How do I update the TSM so it
knows
that this tape is a backupset tape and now can be deleted from the volume
history?

TIA
