Tivoli Storage Manager for HP-UX Administrator's Reference
Use this command to delete file spaces from the server. Files that
belong to the file space are deleted from primary and copy storage
pools.
TSM deletes one or more file spaces as a series of batch database
transactions, thus preventing a rollback or commit for an entire file space as
a single action. If the process is canceled or if a system failure
occurs, a partial deletion can occur. A subsequent DELETE FILESPACE
command for the same node or owner can delete the remaining data.
Privilege Class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy
privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the
client node is assigned.

Notes:
- This parameter can only be used when TYPE=ANY or TYPE=BACKUP is
specified.
Parameters
- node_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the client node to which the file space
belongs.
- file_space_name (Required)
- Specifies the name of the file space to be deleted. This name is
case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as it is known to the
server. To determine how to enter the name, use the QUERY FILESPACE
command. You can use wildcard characters to specify this name.
- Type
- Specifies the type of data to be deleted. This parameter is
optional. The default value is ANY. Possible values are:
- ANY
- Delete only backed-up versions of files and archived copies of
files.
If you specify DELETE FILESPACE node_name * TYPE=ANY, all backed-up data
and archived data in all file spaces for that node are deleted. File
spaces are deleted only if they do not contain files that are migrated from an
HSM client.
- Backup
- Delete backup data for the file space.
- ARchive
- Delete all archived data on the server for the file space.
- SPacemanaged
- Delete files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed
files from an HSM client). The OWNER parameter is ignored when you
specify TYPE=SPACEMANAGED.
-
SERver
- Delete all archived files in all file spaces for a node that is registered
as TYPE=SERVER.
- DAta
- Specifies objects to delete. This parameter is optional. The
default value is ANY. Possible values are:
- ANY
- Delete files, directories, and images.
- FIles
- Delete files and directories.
- IMages
- Delete image objects. You can only use this parameter if you have
specified TYPE=ANY or TYPE=BACKUP.
- Wait
- Specifies whether to wait for the server to complete processing this
command in the foreground. This parameter is optional. The
default value is No. Possible values are:
- No
- Specifies that the server processes this command in the background.
You can continue with other tasks while the command is being processed.
Messages created from the background process are displayed either in the
activity log or the server console, depending on where messages are
logged.
- Yes
- Specifies that the server processes this command in the foreground.
Wait for the command to complete before continuing with other tasks.
The server displays the output messages to the administrative client when the
command completes.
Note: | You cannot specify Wait=Yes from the server console.
|
- OWNer
- Restricts the data that is deleted to files belonging to the owner.
This parameter is optional; it is ignored when
TYPE=SPACEMANAGED. This parameter only applies to multiuser client
systems such as AIX and SunOS.
Examples
Task 1

HTANG.
- Command:
- delete filespace htang C_Drive
Task 2
Delete all files migrated from client node APOLLO (that is, all
space-managed files).
- Command:
- delete filespace apollo * type=spacemanaged
