Yeah....That's my thinking on this type of situation also.

Depends on what you mean.

1.  You wan to delete all the backup data as no longer needed.
Run on TSM server "Del filespace" for that node and that will
delete ALL the data for it.

2.  Want to keep the data for some period of time.
Do nothing.  A node that is no longer backed up will stay in its
last state. Then when you are finally ready to delete data,
do number 1 above.

I have a system(s) that have been turned off never to return. I need to set the 
backup data that was on them to inactive. Does anyone know how to make this 
happen?  I looked on infocenter and couldn't find anything relevant, am I blind 
or it just isn't there?
Thanks
Thomas
