DESCRIPTION
The vos delentry command removes the Volume Location Database (VLDB) entry for each
specified volume. A specified volume can be any of the three types (read/write, read-only,
or backup), but the entire entry is removed no matter which type is provided. The command
has no effect on the actual volumes on file server machines, if they exist.
This command is useful if a volume removal operation did not update the VLDB (perhaps
because the vos zap command was used), but the system administrator does not feel it is
necessary to use the vos syncserv and vos syncvldb commands to synchronize an entire file
server machine.
To remove the VLDB entry for a single volume, use the -id argument. To remove groups of
volumes, combine the -prefix, -server, and -partition arguments. The following list
describes how to remove the VLDB entry for the indicated group of volumes:
· For every volume whose name begins with a certain character string (for example,
"sys." or "user."): use the -prefix argument.
· Every volume for which the VLDB lists a site on a certain file server machine: specify
the file server name with the -server argument.
· Every volume for which the VLDB lists a site on a partition of the same name (for
instance, on the /vicepa partition on any file server machine): specify the partition
name with the -partition argument.
· Every volume for which the VLDB lists a site one a specific partition of a file server
machine: specify both the -server and -partition arguments.
· Every volume whose name begins with a certain prefix and for which the VLDB lists a
site on a file server machine: combine the -prefix and -server arguments. Combine the
-prefix argument with the -partition argument, or both the -server and -partition
arguments, to remove a more specific group of volumes.
CAUTIONS
Do not use this command to remove a volume in normal circumstances; it does not remove a
volume from the file server machine, and so is likely to make the VLDB inconsistent with
state of the volumes on server machines. Use the vos remove command to remove both the
volume and its VLDB entry.
OPTIONS
-id <volume name or ID>+
Specifies the complete name or the volume ID number of each volume for which to remove
the VLDB entry. The entire entry is removed, regardless of whether the read/write,
read-only, or backup version is indicated. Provide this argument or some combination
of the -prefix, -server, and -partition arguments.
-prefix <prefix of volume entry
Specifies a character string of any length; the VLDB entry for a volume whose name
begins with the string is removed. Include field separators (such as periods) if
appropriate. Combine this argument with the -server argument, -partition argument, or
both.
-server <server name>
Identifies a file server machine; if a volume's VLDB entry lists a site on the
machine, the entry is removed. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name
(either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
vos(1).
Combine this argument with the -prefix argument, the -partition argument, or both.
-partition <partition name>
Identifies a partition; if a volume's VLDB entry lists a site on the partition, the
entry is removed. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for
example, /vicepa) or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated forms. For details,
see vos(1).
Combine this argument with the -prefix argument, the -server argument, or both.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the
-localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag
with the -localauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile
file. The vos command interpreter presents it to the Volume Server and Volume Location
Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument
or -noauth flag. For more details, see vos(1).
-dryrun
Show the actions which would be taken, but do not make changes.
-verbose
Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's execution. If
this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages appear.
-encrypt
Encrypts the command so that the operation's results are not transmitted across the
network in clear text. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.11 or later
and 1.5.60 or later.
-noresolve
Shows all servers as IP addresses instead of the DNS name. This is very useful when
the server address is registered as 127.0.0.1 or when dealing with multi-homed
servers. This option is available in OpenAFS versions 1.4.8 or later and 1.5.35 or
later.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The following message confirms the success of the command by indicating how many VLDB
entries were removed.
Deleted <number> VLDB entries
EXAMPLES
The following command removes the VLDB entry for the volume "user.temp".
% vos delentry user.temp
The following command removes the VLDB entry for every volume whose name begins with the
string "test" and for which the VLDB lists a site on the file server machine
"fs3.abc.com".
% vos delentry -prefix test -server fs3.abc.com
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine
specified with the -server argument and on each database server machine. If the -localauth
flag is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local
superuser "root".
