That would work but the only problem is that we are running on Solaris
10. Thanks for the advice though.

Having asked this once before myself when I first created volumes that
were too large to work with on a CDL, I think what he's looking for is
to clear up volume space by deleting old/expired ssid's from the
mediadb:

(Please slap/yell at me if any of this is incorrect, but I just tried
parts of it and seems ok?!)

This is on Win2k3/NW 7.4.2 -

Pull up every ssid that is "recyclable" status on server, dump them all
to file =

 mminfo -av -q "ssrecycle" -r "ssid" > c:\ssids.txt

Remove from media db all the savesets in the file created above =

nsrmm -S -f "c:\ssids.txt" -dy

Fix/Check media DB when done:

nsrim -X

(Note - I can't get the -f "file" to work on Windows/NW 7.4.2, so I
would just use a macro in Textpad32 to add 'nsrmm -S "ssid goes here"
-dy'
around all the ssid's, then I would run it as a .bat)

Jamie
