Command Overview
DELETE
The DELETE command deletes the entire configuration record for the specified
secondary image trail or updater process from the RDF configuration file.
IMAGETRAIL $volume
deletes a secondary image trail from the configuration, implicitly identifying that
trail by the name of the volume on the backup system where it is stored.
[ATINDEX audittrail-index-number]
specifies the audit trail associated with the trail or process you want to delete. 0
designates the MAT; 1 through 15 designate auxiliary audit trails AUX01 through
AUX15. If you omit this parameter, RDFCOM assumes the specified trail or
process is associated with the MAT.
[VOLUME] $volume
deletes an updater process, implicitly identifying the updater process by the name of
the volume on the primary system for which this process is responsible.
Where Issued
Primary system only.
Security Restrictions
You can only issue the DELETE command if you are a member of the super-user group.
RDF State Requirement
After RDF is initialized, you can issue a DELETE command whenever RDF is stopped.
Usage Guidelines
For the DELETE command to have any effect, a configuration record must already exist
for the secondary image trail or updater process associated with the volume name
supplied (that is, someone must have previously issued an ADD IMAGETRAIL or ADD
VOLUME command for the volume).
When you issue a DELETE VOLUME command, RDF responds as follows:
•
The extractor process stops sending image data for the volume specified in the
DELETE VOLUME command.
•
The updater process associated with this volume will not be started.
