32 The B<vos remsite> command removes the read-only replication site
33 specified by the B<-machine> and B<-partition> arguments from the Volume
34 Location Database (VLDB) entry for the indicated volume, which is
37 This command is useful for removing read-only sites that were mistakenly
38 created with the B<vos addsite> command, before the B<vos release> command
39 actually releases them. If a read-only copy already exists at the site, it
40 is not affected. However, if this read-only site was the last site housing
41 any version of the volume, then the entire VLDB entry is removed, even if
42 a copy of the read-only version still actually exists at the site. The VL
43 Server does not correct the discrepancy until the B<vos syncserv> and
44 B<vos syncvldb> commands are run.
48 Do not use this command as the standard way to remove a read-only volume,
49 because it can create a discrepancy between the VLDB and the volumes on
50 file server machines. Use the B<vos remove> command instead.
56 =item B<-server> <I<server name>>
58 Specifies the file server machine portion of the site definition to
59 remove. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully
60 qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see
63 =item B<-partition> <I<partition name>>
65 Specifies the partition name portion of the site definition to
66 remove. Provide the partition's complete name with preceding slash (for
67 example, C</vicepa>) or use one of the three acceptable abbreviated
68 forms. For details, see L<vos(1)>.
70 =item B<-id> <I<volume name or id>>
72 Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the read/write
75 =include fragments/vos-common.pod
81 The following command removes the mistakenly defined read-only site
82 F</viceph> on the file server machine C<fs5.example.com> from the VLDB entry
83 for the volume C<root.cell>.
85 % vos remsite -server fs5.example.com -partition h -id root.cell
87 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
89 The issuer must be listed in the F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the
90 machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
91 machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
92 logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C<root>.
