PurgePiTsOrSnapshots command

Syntax

PurgePiTsOrSnapshots -Snapshot | -PiT | -SyncPiT, ~

-Template RootName [ANYSUFFIX], ~

[-Group SyncMirrorGroupName, ] -Keep NumberToKeep

Description

Purges (deletes) old PiT or snapshots, provided they all have the same root name (all start with the

same prefix). Their suffix can be any suffix (set with the ANYSUFFIX flag in the command line), or

if their suffix is not set, was automatically created by the VSM API (through the template flag).

PiTs with snapshots on them are not purged. The number to keep may be zero (for example, delete

all).

For synchronous mirror PiTs, you must provide the name of the synchronous mirror group on which

the synchronous mirror PiTs are created.

Examples

PurgePiTsOrSnapshots -PiT, -Template MyPiT, -Keep 3

PurgePiTsOrSnapshots -SyncPiT, -Template SyncMirror_PiT AnySuffix, ~

-timeout 900

Description

Waits for a newly created VSM object to become ready for use. Use this command after creating

a VSM object (of a type that is handled by this command) with a zero timeout (so that the CLI

returns without waiting for the object to be ready for use). If the object is created and ready for

use, VSM_OK is returned.
