Re: delete filespace

You are correct on how expiration works, but Michelle is talking about a
manual delete or deletion of filespaces. WHen you delete a filespace as
Michelle has done the data is removed immediately and expire inventory
isn't necessary. I don't think its a matter how long I have been doing TSM,
yet a matter that I understand TSM and how it works. But I have been doing
TSM for 3 years currently. Please, try this with a test node and see what
happens. Expiration is there for files that are expired by the client. The
client marks files as expired in the database, then when you run
expiration, it deletes the files that have been marked for expirarion from
the database. If you delete a filespace you are telling TSM that you know
you want them gone and they are deleted immediately.

How long have you been working with TSM?

Would anyone like to make a comment on this and help Tony Trinh understand
better how TSM functions?

Thanks,
Robert Rippy

Robert,

May I asked how long have you been working with TSM? You are wrong about
the
data get deleted after deleting the filespace. Why do you think there's a
process in place called expiration? This process is in place is to expired
old data of previous version of backup or deleted filespace.

Regards,
Tony

They are done immediately. Expire Inventory isn't necessary.

After doing a delete filespace, when do the deleted
files get removed from the storage pools?  After an
expire inventory?
