Hi TSM'rs

I have two TSM servers TSM1 and TSM2 running TSM 5.2.3.2 on Redhat ES3.

TSM1 is the primary server having a copypool on TSM2 as file based virtual
volumes.

When reclamation runs on the source server the volumes, also file based, are
deleted.

Even though the activity report indicates that the volumes are deleted on
the target server the associated physical files on the target server are not
deleted.

For example a volume called TSM2.BFS.095437768 on the source server has an
associated volume on the target server called 00000003.BFS. The TSM2....
file is deleted from the storage pool but the volume 00000003.BFS on the
target server is not deleted.

I have tried running "reconcile volumes", "audit volume" "expire inventory"
etc etc and nothing has worked.

The file still indicates a size of 5GB on disk and is now obviously casuing
a space problem.

Help!!

Mark
