I seem to remember there was a way to deactivate the filespaces from the client, so that all the data becomes inactive and subject to the copy group expiration, which I think is appropriate for decommissioned nodes.
I think its the "dsmc expire" command, but check out the client manual to be sure. The data should just be reclaimed out of the active pool after that.

The node was a member in a domain that had ACTIVEDEST set and therefore the node have all its file spaces in ACTIVE stgpool. Now, since the node is decomissioned there is no requirement to continue keeping its data in ACTIVE stgpool anymore. How do I remove its data from there? I figured that I can create another active stgpool, move that node data (and only that node data) with move noded to that stgpool and after that destroy the volumes with discardd=y. Any other, more elegant ways maybe? -- Warm regards, Michael Green This message and any attachments (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.
