file devices recycling

[mtinode]

I have a file device configured. I'd like to purge the recyclable save sets without staging them to tape or another device. Is there a way to simply delete the old save sets or stage to /dev/null to free up space for new save sets so the disk doesn't fill up?

You need to get the list of ssid's you want to delete from the volume and then use the nsrmm command.

If it is a Windows box you can put them in a text file remove.txt, one on each line, than create a batch file to remove them with a line similar to the following;

for /F %%i in (remove.txt) do c:\"program files"\legato\nsr\bin\nsrmm -d -S %%i

{note: All on one line!}

Then run nsrim -X -V {volume name} to recover the space.

To be precise:
you can get the list of ssid's with this command:

mminfo -q "volume={diskvolume},ssrecycle" -r ssid >remove.txt
