I had the same problem not to long ago. I found the solution by looking in the list.

Delete filespace itgc2ashare \\itcf2ashare\c$ nametype=unicode The implication on the 'help delete filespace' is that nametype is not required -- but I had the same problem and that was my work-around. Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc what I did was TSM>help q filespace ---->for the exact syntax for the 'nametype=' when I finally saw the file that had not deleted so I did; TSM>help delete filespace ---->for the exact syntax for the 'nametype=' What worked for me was ----> delete filespace <nodename> <filename> nametype=fsid I know others have used ----> delete filespace <nodename> <filename> nametype=unicode with success Hope this helps!

I generated a backupset for that server and then deleted all the filespace of this old server. When I tried to do 'remove node oldserver', it complaint objects still exist on it. I guessed I can 'del volh ' to delete that backupset tape. Unfortunately, I checkout that tape from the library because I was going to store it. When I 'check it in', now TSM saying that backupset tape is not available for deletion even though it is now inside the tape library. How do I update the TSM so it knows that this tape is a backupset tape and now can be deleted from the volume history? TIA
