An EXPORT is a COPY operation, not a delete.
 
You can export all the data to tape, then use the CLIENT to delete just the 
archive versions you want to delete.

Subject: TSM DB Increased - Export Node To Tape (Archive Data)



Hi All

I am running out of space for my TSM DB ( 98% ); What I'[m doing now is to
export some archive data to tape and delete it from archivepool/copypool. My
problem is while trying to export 80 version of archive data (which was
taken on monthly basis) I only can supply 'fromdate' option where by it will
export the version of archive from the date mention to the current date ( am
I right ?) Is that any option or solution that can also stated like 'todate'
to prevent the export session from take all the version.

Please help

Thanks
Abu
