Kathy, 1) if you use either a different node name or a different filespace for the backups of the new /upgraded DB you can issue a "delete filespace" on the TSM.
2) you can create a new filespace where the backups go to and then, according to your backup policy go back to 1) after your defined "keep-the-backups" time. 3) if all your backups are on tapes, you could set them now to "readonly" and delete all af them after you did enough backups - according to your policy- again. 4) maybe there bis a simpler way and "Thiha" knows the answer ? herfried "Lai, Kathy KL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@VM.MARIST.EDU> on 04.12.2001 01:52:36 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Delete TDP backup piece directory from ADSM Dear all, I have some backup pieces in the ADSM server which is still in active mode and I can also find them in the catalog DB. However, the database that the backup pieces belong to has already been upgraded and already registered to another catalog DB. Therefore, I cannot remove those backup pieces through RMAN of the orginal catalog DB anmore. How can I delete those old backup pieces directory from the ADSM server.
