Hello Zoltan,

I use it every day, mostly because of changes to our VMware environment (VMs 
seem to breed like rabbits and die like fruit flies.)  It never seems to take 
much time in those cases, but the object count and data stored in those cases 
isn't typically very large.

I've never tried to decomm a node that is TB in size or one that contains 
millions of objects.

Subject: [ADSM-L] DECOMMISSION NODE

Anyone out there using the DECOMMISSION NODE command?  I tried it on an old, 
inactive node and after running for 4-days, I had to cancel it due to scheduled 
TSM server maintenance.

My issue is, since it was only 35% finished (based on the number of objects 
processed), will it start from the beginning or remember where it left off?
