Hi Shawn,

Does the force=yes only apply to TSM version 5.5?  I don't see that
option
available for the delete volhist command.  This TSM server is only at
5.3.5.2, but will be upgraded shortly to a supported version.  Just
let me
know either way and thanks for the syntax!!!

It is, it's never been documented (maybe to protect the innocent?) but
does work.

[ADSM-L] Delete the last DBSnapshot





Hi Everyone,

I used to use database snapshots going to a file device class.  I no
longer need/want to run database snapshots, but I cannot seem to
delete
the last one.  I also still run a database backup to tape, which I
want to
keep.  Does anyone know how I can get rid of this database snapshot so
that I can delete the file system from the TSM server?

Thanks in advance!
