Thanks Grigori I was missing a space { NULL\System State }, so the below command worked.
Thanks for your advice though. I'll try that next time :-/ Regards Farren delete filespace CHI-AS-SCCMEUR 'CHI-AS-SCCMEUR\SystemState\NULL\System State\SystemState' namet=uni -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Grigori Solonovitch Sent: 16 May 2011 10:26 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Trying to delete a filespace??? Try namet=fsid and use filespace ID instead of name. FSID can be taken from "q fi <node> f=d". You will avoid a lot of problems with cpecial characters in filespace name. Grigori G.
