Re: [ADSM-L] How to remove TDP for Exchange database from TSM Server?

Hello Del,

Thank you very much for information. At least you gave me a direction.

I have found INACTIVATE option in tdpexcc:

TDPEXCC INACTivate *|DIR|IS|sgname1,..,sgnameN backuptype

  where backuptype can be:

      FULL|COPY|INCRemental|DIFFerential|DBCopy dbname

  [/CONFIGfile=tdpexc.cfg|filename] (default: tdpexc.cfg)

  [/FROMEXCSERVer=servername] (default: local exchange server)

  [/LOGFile=tdpexc.log|logfilename] (default: tdpexc.log)

  [/LOGPrune=60|n|No] (default: 60)

  [/OBJect=object] (default: current active object)

  [/Quiet]

  [/TSMNODe=nodename]

  [/TSMOPTFile=dsm.opt|filename] (default: dsm.opt)

  [/TSMPassword=password]

By the way, I could not use this command to deactivate storage group. It was 
two databases in one storage group and one of them is still in use.

I am not very cool in Exchange and some options of "tdpexcc inactivate" are not 
clear for me.

Maybe you or somebody else can help me to build command to inactivate full 
backup for removed database Branches_MBox2 without disturbing other database 
Branches_MBox1 in the same storage group?

I will deeply appreciate any help.

Grigori,



Try the INACTIVATE command from the CLI to force it inactive.

For example, if the storage group is named "sg1", issue this command:



   TDPEXCC INACTIVATE sg1 FULL



This will not "delete" it, however, it will inactivate it.

That means it will age according to management class settings.



Thanks,



Del
