TSM Node retention policies are setup but TSM but will only delete files flagged as inactive. When a file is on a disk, it is automatically marked as inactive when it is deleted. Since this step is bypassed when LiteSpeed backs up directly to TSM, what is required to set the file as inactive so that after N days, TSM will remove the file?
N/A
1. Make sure that the TSM node has the rights to delete files from TSM by entering the following into the TSM server’s admin command line
Update node 'nodename' backdel = y
2. EXEC master.dbo.xp_delete_tsmfile will mark files to be deleted.
EXEC master.dbo.xp_delete_tsmfile
,@tsmclientnode= {'TSM_client_node'|@TSM_client_node_var}
,@tsmclientownerpwd= {'TSM_client_owner_password'|@TSM_client_owner_password_var}
,@tsmobject= {'TSM_object'|@TSM_object_var}
,@tsmconfigfile= {'TSM_configuration_file'|@TS
Returns:Message indicating success or failure of TSM object delete.
e.g.
EXEC master.dbo.xp_delete_tsmfile
@tsmclientnode = 'nn.n.nnn.nnn'
,@tsmclientownerpwd= 'quest'
,@tsmobject='test\test\0208n.bak'
,@tsmconfigfile='C:\dsm.opt'
