IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Deleting empty storage pool volumes

Use the DELETE VOLUME command to delete empty volumes. Before deleting a volume, the server issues a confirmation message.

About this task

You can delete empty storage pool volumes. For example, to delete an empty volume named WREN03, enter:

delete volume wren03
On an administrative client, you will receive the following confirmation messages, unless the client is running with the NOCONFIRM option: 
ANR2200W  This command will delete volume WREN03
from its storage pool after verifying that the volume
contains no data.
Do you wish to proceed? (Y/N)
Volumes in a shred pool (DISK pools only) are not deleted until shredding is completed. See Securing sensitive client data for more information.

After you respond yes, the server generates a background process to delete the volume.

The command can be run in the foreground on an administrative client by issuing the command with the WAIT=YES parameter.
