Hi Gurus,
We have a situation where we have a couple of hundred physical disk
files I need to clear off our adv_file devices - these are savesets that
have been staged to tape but, for whatever reason, haven't been removed
from the adv_file devices.  I have updated the media db to remove
references to these disk based files and am in the process of manually
removing them from disk, and this is where my problem lies.
I know I can use ssid(60) in the report options for mminfo to report the
disk filename, but ideally I'd like NetWorker to tell me *where* on the
adv_file device I can find it, i.e. give me the path as well as the
filename.  Our 3rd party support inform me that they've tried to raise
this before and EMC basically told them to go away and that they didn't
need to know how to drill down to that level.
So... does anybody out there have the faintest idea how to glean this
info from NetWorker?  We are running NW v7.2 Build 494.
Please note that I can't just label the volumes because I still have
live data on them.
Have you tried a "reclaim space" operation? You can do this from the nsrstage command with the -C option.
