We are running TSM v5.1.5.4 on Win2k-SP2 with several primary disk sequential storage pools defined. We originally backed up each primary pool to a single 8mm tape copy storage pool daily. We recently created a second copy pool and switched which copy pool some of the primary pools back up to. My questions is, how do I remove the occupancy left over from the switched primary pools in the original copy pool? I understand that as objects are expired from the switched primary pools, data will be expired from the original copy pool (and subsequently not backed up to the original copy pool again). We still have quite a bit of static/stale objects that will not get expired from the original copy pool though.
I thought about trying a "move nodedata" for nodes affected in the copy pool to a new volume and then delete the resulting volume, but I receive a successful return message in the actlog but zero bytes are moved. I was also able to pull a list of volumes from the original copy pool that contain data that can be removed (along with unaffected data). Is there any other way to delete the occupancy short of deleting these volumes and allowing the copy pools to re-backup? Thanks, Colby Morgan
