George, If one of the servers you are backing up via TSM is a linux or unix server you should be able to create a shell script on that server to run that command. The script will need to have a "do" loop into which you can get it to read a list. It would need to start like this: #!/bin/ksh #Standard TSM Admin command. DSMADMC="/usr/bin/dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=XXXXXX -noconfirm " And then have a line something like this while read VOL do $DSMADMC " del volhist todate=today type=remote volume=$VOL force=yes " done < /tmp/nodelist Please check the syntax above before running as this is only a quick example...
