To delete file spaces from the server, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task. Files that belong to the specified file space are deleted from primary and copy storage pools.
Enter the name of the client node to which the file space belongs. This parameter is required.
Enter the name of the file space to be deleted. For a server that has clients with support for Unicode, you may need to have the server convert the file space name that you enter. For example, you may need to have the server convert the name you enter from the server's code page to Unicode. See the Filespace Name Type field for details. If you do not specify a file space name, or specify only a single wildcard character for the name, you can use the Filespace Code Page Type field to limit the operation to a Unicode file space or to a non-Unicode file space.
Select the type of data to be deleted from the file space. The parameter is optional.
Any | Deletes only backed-up versions of files and archived copies of files. The default is Any. |
Backup | Deletes all backup data. |
Archive | Deletes all archived data on the server. |
Spacemanaged | Deletes files migrated from a user's local file system (space-managed files from an HSM client). |
Server | Deletes all archived files in all file spaces for the node that is registered as Type=Server. |
Select the data type to be deleted from the file space. The parameter is optional.
Any | Deletes files, directories, and images. The default is Any. |
File | Deletes files and directories. |
Image | Deletes only images. The Object Type must be set to Any or Backup. |
Select how you want the server to interpret the file space name. This parameter is useful when the server has client with support for Unicode. A backup-archive client with support for Unicode is currently available for Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2002, Windows XP, Macintosh OS 9, and Macintosh OS X operating systems. Use this parameter only when you enter a partly or fully qualified file space name.
SERVER | The server uses the server's code page to interpret the file space name. This is the default. |
UNICODE | The server converts the file space name from the server code page to the UTF-8 code page. The success of the conversion depends on the actual characters in the name and the server's code page. Conversion can fail if the string includes characters that are not available in the server code page, or if the server has a problem accessing system conversion routines. |
FSID | The server interprets the file space names as their file space IDs (FSIDs). |
Select the type of file space to include in the operation. Use this parameter only when you enter a single wildcard character for the file space name.
UNICODE | Include only file spaces that are in Unicode. |
NONUNICODE | Include only file spaces that are not in Unicode. |
BOTH | Include file spaces regardless of code page type. This is the default.. |
Enter the name of the owner to restrict the data that is deleted from a file space to files belonging to the owner named. This parameter is optional and is ignored when the object type is space-managed. Also, this parameter only applies to multiuser client systems such as AIX and SunOS.
Select whether the server processes this command in the foreground or background. This parameter is optional.
Yes | Specifies that the server processes this command in the foreground. |
No | Specifies that the server processes this command in the background. The default is No. |
