I seem to remember there was a way to deactivate the filespaces from the
client, so that all the data becomes inactive and subject to the copy
group expiration, which I think is appropriate for decommissioned nodes.

I think its the "dsmc expire" command, but check out the client manual to
be sure.

The data should just be reclaimed out of the active pool after that.

Shawn

[ADSM-L] NOde Data removal from active stgpool






A node that was in backup has been decomissioned. The node was a
member in a  domain that had ACTIVEDEST set and therefore the node
have all its file spaces in ACTIVE  stgpool.
Now, since the node is decomissioned there is no requirement to
continue keeping its data in ACTIVE stgpool anymore.
How do I remove its data from there?

I figured that I can create another active stgpool, move that node
data (and only that node data) with move noded to that stgpool and
after that destroy the volumes with discardd=y.

Any other, more elegant ways maybe?
