+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para>The <emphasis role="bold">vos remsite</emphasis> command removes the read-only replication site
+ specified by the <emphasis role="bold">-machine</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">-partition</emphasis> arguments from the Volume
+ Location Database (VLDB) entry for the indicated volume, which is
+ read/write.</para>
+
+ <para>This command is useful for removing read-only sites that were mistakenly
+ created with the <emphasis role="bold">vos addsite</emphasis> command, before the <emphasis role="bold">vos release</emphasis> command
+ actually releases them. If a read-only copy already exists at the site, it
+ is not affected. However, if this read-only site was the last site housing
+ any version of the volume, then the entire VLDB entry is removed, even if
+ a copy of the read-only version still actually exists at the site. The VL
+ Server does not correct the discrepancy until the <emphasis role="bold">vos syncserv</emphasis> and
+ <emphasis role="bold">vos syncvldb</emphasis> commands are run.</para>
+
+ </refsect1>
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Cautions</title>
+ <para>Do not use this command as the standard way to remove a read-only volume,
+ because it can create a discrepancy between the VLDB and the volumes on
+ file server machines. Use the <emphasis role="bold">vos remove</emphasis> command instead.</para>
