Clean up volumes, moving data first
- Set volume readonly: upd vol /tsmdata/stg1/filepool/01301.dsm acc=reado
- Move data from the volume: move data /tsmdata/stg1/filepool/01301.dsm w=y
- Delete the volume: del vol /tsmdata/stg1/filepool/01301.dsm
- Delete the volume from the underlying file system (linux example here): rm -f /tsmdata/stg1/filepool/01301.dsm
All this could be scripted if multiple volumes should be cleaned up to free space on underlying file system.
