dependency, use the following command format: hpvmdevmgmt -V -l
{all|server|rdev|gdev}:depend:dependent-name.

3. Deletion of an attribute from an entry. To delete all entries with a specific attribute, use
the following command format:-d {server | rdev |
gdev}:entry-name:attr:attr-name
To delete a cluster entry, specify the server host name for the entry-name.
