Delete and ssid from an ism volume?

[Philip]

Is there a way to delete an individual save set id (ssid) from an
informix storage manager (ism) volume?

What I need to do is to limit disk usage of an ISM file device where I
back up my logical logs. In essence, once old data has been deleted
off of informix (we store data in our data wharehouse in individual
dbspaces per day's worth of business) I need to also remove any
logical logs that no longer would be needed to restore the database in
it's state after the delete. The only way I can see to do this with
the base informix ISM is to have the ability to delete specific ssid's
from the logical log volume.

Thanks,

Well. I answered my own question. I'll post it so that other's that
might have this question can find it in the future by searching the
group archives.

To delete a specific ssid from the ISM, use one of the legato
utilities - nsrmm. The usage on nsrmm is:

usage: nsrmm [-v | -q] [-s server] [-f device]
or nsrmm -l [-v | -q] [-s server] [-f device] [-myB]
[-e expiration] [-c capacity] [-b pool] [-R | volume]
or nsrmm {-u | -j} [-v | -q] [-s server] [-y] [-f device |
volume...]
or nsrmm -p [-v | -q] [-s server] [-f device]
or nsrmm -m [-v | -q] [-s server] [-f device] [-r] [volume]
or nsrmm {-d | -o mode} [-v | -q] [-s server] [-Py]
[-S ssid[/cloneid] | -V volid | volume...]

So the command to delete an ssid would be:

nsrmm -d -S <ssid>

Use the '-y' option to avoid the interactive prompts (if you wish to
script such management).
