Hi,

have you considered locking a number of nodes, so they just can't
backup, rather than deleting essential client data? IMNSHO there is
something very wrong in what you are doing. YOU SHOULD NEVER DELETE
CLIENT DATA UNLESS THE CLIENT HAS BEEN DECOMMISSIONED. (sorry for the
shouting). You should be pestering your boss until new media are
ordered. You should be pestering your supplier to deliver the media
now. And, most importantly, you should have started doing so about two
months before all of your media filled up.

Hi gurus,

I have a disk pool migrated once a day to a tape pool, but some data
stays (capacity problems). Until I have solved that, every day I
have to empty the disk pool deleting the data. Here are the questions:


1.  Is there any way to empty the disk pool without deleting the
volumes ? The only way I have found is to delete the volumes
disgarding the data (after that re-creating them).
2.  My TSM server is Windows 2003 based (TSM 5.5.3.0). When I delete
a disk volume, the file in Windows stays there, I cannot create it
again after that, so I have to manually delete the files from
Windows and that create the volumes again. Is this the way it should
be ? That prevents me from automating the operation with a script.

Best Regards,
