The decommission Command
If you want or need to remove a File Store instance you need to decommission File Store first using the tsm topology filestore decommission
command. If you don't decommission File Store before you attempt to remove it, you will be prompted to do so. Decommissioning puts the File Store instance into read-only mode and copies any unique data contained in the instance to the other File Store(s) in the cluster. While a File Store instance is being decommissioned, this shows on the Status page, and once all unique content has been copied to other File Store nodes, the decommissioned node shows as ready to be removed.
Decommissioning File Store when co-located with the Administrative Controller
Tableau backup is fastest when an instance of File Store is located on the same node as the TSM Administrative Controller. If you are removing an instance of File Store that is co-located with the Controller, you will be warned about the performance impact for backups.
