26
Removes the VLDB entry for the indicated volume(s) from the
27
VLDB. Each volume may be any of the three types (ReadWrite,
28
ReadOnly or Backup), but the entire entry is removed no
29
matter which type is provided. The command has no effect on
30
the actual volumes on file server machines, if they exist.
32
This command is useful if the system administrator is
33
certain that a volume removal was not recorded in the VLDB
34
(perhaps the vos zap command was used), and does not want to
35
take the time to use vos syncserv and vos syncvldb to
36
synchronize an entire file server machine.
38
By using the -id argument alone, or combining the -prefix,
39
-server and -partition arguments in different ways, it is
40
possible to remove the VLDB entry for varying numbers of
41
volumes. To remove the VLDB entry for:
43
- a single volume, provide its complete name or
44
volumeID number as -id.
46
- every volume whose name begins with a certain
47
character string (for example, sys. or user.),
48
regardless of site, use -prefix.
50
- every volume listed as residing on a certain file
51
server machine, specify the file server name with
54
- every volume listed as residing on a partition of
55
the same name (for instance, on /vicepa on any
56
file server machine), specify the partition name
59
- every volume on a certain partition of a file
60
server machine, specify both -server and
63
- every volume with a certain prefix that resides on
64
a file server machine, combine -prefix and
68
-server. The -prefix argument may also be
69
combined with -partition, or both -server and
70
-partition, in this way.
74
This command should not be used as the standard way to
75
remove a volume, as it is likely to put the VLDB out of sync
76
with the volumes on servers. Use vos remove instead.
80
-id specifies either the complete name or
81
volumeID number of the volume, which may be
82
ReadWrite, ReadOnly or Backup. The entire
83
entry is removed, no matter which type is
84
provided. Provide this argument OR some
85
combination of -prefix, -server and
88
-prefix specifies a character string of any length.
89
Every VLDB listing a volume whose name
90
begins with this exact string will be
91
removed (subject to modulations from -server
92
and -partition). Include field separators
93
(such as periods) if appropriate. This
94
argument may be combined with -server and/or
97
-server names a file server machine. If the VLDB
98
entry mentions this file server machine as
99
the site for a volume, the entry will be
100
removed. Abbreviated forms of machine names
101
may be allowed depending on the naming
102
service available at the time the command is
103
issued; see page xii in the introductory
104
About This Manual chapter. This argument
105
may be combined with -prefix and/or
108
-partition names a partition. If the VLDB entry
109
mentions this partition as the site for a
110
volume, the entry will be removed. In
111
addition to the full /vicepx form of a
112
partition name, three shorter forms are
113
acceptable; see page xii in the introductory
114
About This Manual chapter. This argument
115
may be combined with -prefix and/or -server.
117
-cell specifies the cell in which to run the
118
command. See section 8.3 in the Reference
119
Manual for more details. -noauth
120
tells the Volume and Volume Location Servers
121
to assign the identity anonymous to the
122
issuer. See section 8.3 in the Reference
123
Manual for more details. -localauth
124
constructs a server ticket using a key from
125
/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile. See section 8.3 in
126
the Reference Manual for more details.
128
tells the Volume and Volume Location Servers
132
to report on what they are doing as they
133
execute the command. See section 8.3 in the
134
Reference Manual for more details. -help
135
prints the online help for this command. Do
136
not provide any other arguments or flags
137
with this one. See section 8.3 in the
138
Reference Manual for more details.
