Yes, but it isn't necessarily a straight forward process.

The tool we use is DELETE VOLUME (volume_name) DISCARDDATA=YES, BUT, and that can be a big obstacle, we only want to delete data that belongs to the pertinent node on the volumes.

To accomplish this, we have set up our copy pools and nodes in collocation groups and, when we want to segregate a node, we set them up in a separate group.

Then we can do a move data on the volumes that contain the pertinent node information so that we can do a DELETE VOLUME on the new volumes created for that node.

If anyone has a favorite way of doing this, or if TSM would like to create a DELETE NODEDATA with a COPYPOOL option command, or update the DELETE FILESPACE command to allow specifying a copy pool, it would be a LOT easier to accomplish this.

Bob.

The command "move nodedata fromstgpool=tape_pool1 tostgpool=tape_pool2"
might be what you want.

Hi,

you can use sql commands to select IDs and then delete objetcs you want.

Not directly. You can delete (at your own risk) the copy volumes with the unwanted node. The next backup storage pool will "recopy" the other data that was deleted.
We have done this when nodes have been moved between pools.

Thank you.

This works for copy pools, but requires that you bring the tapes onsite...not always an option if you need your DR media offsite.
