TSM HSM: Deleting files
Hi, we are using TSM HSM. When we delete migrated files (the stub files of them) from filesystem, HSM is recalling the files before deleting them. Is that normal? Is there a way to configure it? I would be nicer when TSM just mark the files in HSM as removed. Any experiences or hints? Best regards

Re: How to move data between 2 nodes (1 decomissioned/1new)
Hi, are there the same filespaces (mountpoints) on the new server? Then there are two possibilities: 1. The new server get the same nodename in TSM. So for TSM there is no new server. 2. You export the data in TSM from the old one and reimport it to the new node. Best ricksea schrieb: Hello folks, I have one node on TSM that has been decomissioned.
