If you know which *EXACTLY* file you want to delete from TSM you can try the following: dsmc -virtualnode=<RMAN node> dsmc> expire <the file in question> or dsmc> expire -filelist=<a list> Later some tweaking of verd and reto may speed up the expiration.
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Deleting old TDP for Oracle backups Hello I have old TDP for Oracle backups that I want to get rid of. This being the first time I used TDPO, I didn't use a nodename for each database, I used a nodename for each server. So now I have 3 or 4 databases using the same nodename. SOme of these databases have since disappeared and I am stuck with the backups. The Oracle admin can't seem to figure out how to get RMAN to delete the backups and since they are in the active state, they will never expire. I've opened a PMR on this and I'm hoping for a miracle. That Share request about being able to delete 1 file from backups and not only a filespace seems to me would be migty handy here. If anyone out there in TSM land has a recipe, please share. Thanks Guillaume Gilbert CGI Canada
