22 <title>Description</title>
23 <para>The <emphasis role="bold">backup delhost</emphasis> command deletes the indicated Tape Coordinator entry
24 from the Backup Database. It is then impossible to submit backup
25 operations to that Tape Coordinator, even if it is still running. To keep
26 configuration information consistent, also remove the corresponding entry
27 from the <replaceable>/usr/afs/backup/tapeconfig</replaceable> file on the Tape Coordinator
30 <para>To list the Tape Coordinator machines and port offsets defined in the
31 Backup Database, issue the <emphasis role="bold">backup listhosts</emphasis> command.</para>

38 <term><emphasis role="bold">-tapehost</emphasis> <<emphasis>tape machine name</emphasis>></term>
40 <para>Specifies the hostname of the machine housing the Tape Coordinator to
46 <term><emphasis role="bold">-portoffset</emphasis> <<emphasis>TC port offset</emphasis>></term>
48 <para>Specifies the port offset number of the Tape Coordinator to delete. If
49 omitted, it defaults to <computeroutput>0</computeroutput>. If provided, it is an integer between <computeroutput>0</computeroutput>
50 (zero) and <computeroutput>58510</computeroutput>, and must match the port offset number assigned to the
51 same combination of Tape Coordinator and tape device or file in the
52 <replaceable>/usr/afs/backup/tapeconfig</replaceable> file on the Tape Coordinator machine
53 indicated by the <emphasis role="bold">-tapehost</emphasis> argument.</para>
58 <term><emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis></term>
60 <para>Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
61 <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile</replaceable> file. The <emphasis role="bold">backup</emphasis> command interpreter presents
62 it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
63 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the <emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> argument. For
64 more details, see <link linkend="backup8">backup(8)</link>.</para>
69 <term><emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> <<emphasis>cell name</emphasis>></term>
71 <para>Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
72 with the <emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis> flag. For more details, see <link linkend="backup8">backup(8)</link>.</para>
