APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Performing a decommission node might not remove the nodes
  filespaces as expected, even though no occupancy exists and all
  objects
  have been expired.
  
  Symptoms:
  A query of the node will show this as being decommissioned.
  A query of the occupancy returns no data.
  A query of the filespace still shows it as existing.
  
  Manually expiring the node and deleting the filespaces appear to
  be successful, but these are still not removed.
  
  Server tracing does not reveal the cause and no errors are
  reported.
  
  
  Initial Impact: medium
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected:
  Server 7.1.x and 8.1.x on all supported platforms
  
  Keywords:
  TS002876030  decommission node not removed deleted
