This is what I do when I have a client that is no longer required on
TSM.

1. delete all the file spaces for the client {delete filespace
<nodename> <filespacename> wait=no}
This deletes all references to the filespace and the files backed up
for that filespace from the TSM database

2. delete the client {remove node <nodename> }
This removes all references to the node out of the database.


removing a node  can also be done using the Administration GUI
interface

first delete all the filespaces
select object view
select clients
select client nodes
select the node to be removed
select filespace name
from operations drop down list select delete filespace
on delete filespace screen select finish

This submits a procedure to delete all filespaces for the node

second
remove the node
when the above procedure is completed
 select object view
select clients
select client nodes
select the node to be removed

from operations drop down list select remove this node
on the remove node confirmation screen select finish
This will submit a process that will remove the node from the TSM
server

IF any filespaces still exist on the TSM server for the node, the
remove will fail.




The data and the definition of the node/client now no longer exist as
far as TSM is concerned. No expiration is necessary.

Hope this helps

Hope I am not working from an incorrect premise.

We have a client which is disappearing.  I would like to do an
incremental to set everything to inactive so it will age off
gracefully.
However, when I gried this yesterday it went ahead and backed up
enyway.
Tsm server v5.1.6.2 on solaris 2.8.
Client v5.1.5.9 running on windows nt v4.

Below is a q node,
Q filespace,
Activity log for the backup session,
And the dsm.opt from the client.
Someone, what m I missing?

Thanks for the help.
