STARTED and are expired by Tivoli 
Storage Manager based on their 
retention parameters. If the retention 
parameters are set to NOLIMIT, the 
objects never expire. 
The Delete Filespace command cannot be 
used with DRP ON, so the operation is 
treated the same as though a delete were 
indicated and the status of all of the affected 
objects is changed from PENDING to 
STARTED. They are expired by Tivoli 
Storage Manager based on their retention 
parameters. This action unfortunately leaves 
the file space entries in Tivoli Storage 
Manager. These entries can be manually 
deleted after the file space is empty even 
with DRP ON.
