Our policy is to move the 'old' node to another domain, which in our case is called 'REDUNDANT'. Therefore i know which of the servers have been decommissioned as they are all in this domain. It also depends on your sites' retention policies, but i have the redundant domain to remove data after 180 days.
But our other reason for doing this is that I run a query every morning, against filespaces (in production domains which i expected to backup) that have not had a successful backup-end in the last 24 hours. If i leave the decommissioned servers in a production domain, it reports those filespaces as not backed up, which is misleading.

This is my first post. I have servers that have been decommissioned that TSM was backing up. I also have new servers that replaced the old servers. My question is should I leave the old nodes in TSM for a while in case of a restore is needed? Can I just rename the nodes and point them to the new server?
