1 - If you only want to delete the data on the volume and nothing else, 
then no, you have to delete the volume
2- You should be able to redefine the volume to TSM without manually 
deleting the file at the OS level.  Just omit the "formatsize" option in 
the "define volume" command

Subject
[ADSM-L] emptying disk pool






Hi gurus,

I have a disk pool migrated once a day to a tape pool, but some data stays 
(capacity problems). Until I have solved that, every day I have to empty 
the disk pool deleting the data. Here are the questions:


 1.  Is there any way to empty the disk pool without deleting the volumes 
? The only way I have found is to delete the volumes disgarding the data 
(after that re-creating them).
 2.  My TSM server is Windows 2003 based (TSM 5.5.3.0). When I delete a 
disk volume, the file in Windows stays there, I cannot create it again 
after that, so I have to manually delete the files from Windows and that 
create the volumes again. Is this the way it should be ? That prevents me 
from automating the operation with a script.

Best Regards,

Tuncel Mutlu
