Is there a way to delete TSM node or nodes from db2?

Check activity log. It should mention, why cannot delete file space.

If you read previous posts (near the top), the deletion completes with no errors - meaning successful

I guess you could go at it a different route.

Use MOVE NODEDATA to move all the data for that node to a single set of volumes with no other nodes. Then delete those volumes with discarddata=yes. Youwill probably have to put all the private volumes to read-only so that the data goes to scratch instead of an existing volume other nodes, unless you have an empty pool you can send it to.

Marc,

I got your private e-mail. Thanks.

TSM version is 6.3.5.1 and that is why I can't go that route.

Anyways, this is a trivial matter for which I will just decommission the TSM server and delete the BFS files manually. I don't have any use for the TSM server after Feb 28.

Started a filespace delete 5 days ago and see what it is saying now!

I have never seen any TSM server deleting negative objects!
