12 name> -id <volume name or ID> [-cell <cell name>]
14 [-localauth] [-verbose] [-help]

24 Removes the ReadOnly replication site specified by -machine
25 and -partition from the VLDB entry for the indicated volume,
30 This command should not be used as the standard way to
31 remove a ReadOnly volume, as it can put the VLDB out of sync
32 with the volumes on servers. Use vos remove instead.
34 This command is useful for removing ReadOnly sites that were
35 mistakenly created with the vos addsite command, before the
36 vos release command actually releases them. If a ReadOnly
37 copy already exists at the site, it is not affected.
38 However, if this ReadOnly site was the last site housing any
39 version of the volume, then the entire VLDB entry will
40 disappear, even if a copy of the ReadOnly version still
41 actually exists at the site. The discrepancy will not be
42 noticed until someone runs the vos syncserv and vos syncvldb
47 -server specifies the file server machine part of
