Hi Zoltan,
I assume that you are using a device class with DEVTYPE=SERVER, is it so? If so, have you looked at the DELgraceperiod option in the DEF SERVER command? Regards, Paul -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU Sent: dinsdag 21 december 2010 16:18 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Managing/deleting DBSNAPSHOTs We have setup a small, offsite TSM server to function as a repository of across-the-wire DBSNAPSHOT database backups for our production TSM servers. We want each server to perform daily dbsnapshot backups to this server. Since the offsite server currently has limited disk space (2-dbsnapshots for all servers), we need to expire/purge the previous dbsnapshot-1 before we can perform another dbsnapshot. I have everything configured and the dbsnapshots work as expected. My problem is this. How to I get the dbsnapshots to expire/go away on the offsite server? What controls the expiration of the dbsnapshots? I have run "delete volhist devclass todate=today-1 type=dbsnapshot" commands and it says they are deleted but the space is not release on the offsite server? I have had to perform manual "delete filespace ... type=server" on the offsite server but that deletes everything in the filespace. What am I missing?
