DELETE DATAVOLS
catalog; this allows the audit dumps associated with the deleted volume to be recycled.
If any online dumps for the deleted volume remain in the catalog, however, audit dump
media will not be recycled, and the performance of the catalog process will eventually
degrade as the catalog database grows. Furthermore, if the data volume is later
added back into the configuration, and associated with a different audit trail than
before, any attempt at file recovery using an online dump made before the audit-trail
change will fail.
Examples
The following DELETE DATAVOLS command successfully deletes a disabled-clean
volume:
TMF 91> DELETE DATAVOLS $DATA3
$DATA3 -- datavol deleted.
TMF 92>
The next DELETE DATAVOLS command attempts to remove a volume that was not
disabled:
TMF 92> DELETE DATAVOLS ($PART, $SUPP)
$PART -- datavol not deleted (not disabled).
$SUPP -- datavol deleted.
TMF 93>
The following DELETE DATAVOLS command illustrates what happens when you
attempt to delete a disabled-dirty data volume, first without specifying the
ALLOWINCONSISTENCY option and then with the option supplied:
TMF 93> DELETE DATAVOLS $DATA7
$DATA7 -- datavol not deleted (dirty, not overridden).
TMF 94> DELETE DATAVOLS $DATA7, ALLOWINCONSISTENCY
$DATA7 -- datavol deleted.
TMF 95>
For more information on the disabled-dirty and other data volume states, see the
STATUS DATAVOLS command description.
