VOS_REMSITE(1) AFS Command Reference VOS_REMSITE(1)NAMEvos_remsite - Removes a read-only site definition from a VLDB entry
SYNOPSIS
vos remsite -server <machine name>
-partition <partition name>
-id <volume name or ID>
[-cell <cell name>]
[-noauth] [-localauth]
[-verbose] [-encrypt] [-noresolve] [-help]
vos rems -s <machine name>
-p <partition name>
-i <volume name or ID>
[-c <cell name>]
[-noa] [-l] [-v] [-e] [-nor] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The vos remsite command removes the read-only replication site
specified by the -machine and -partition arguments from the Volume
Location Database (VLDB) entry for the indicated volume, which is
read/write.
This command is useful for removing read-only sites that were
mistakenly created with the vos addsite command, before the vos release
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 vos syncserv and vos syncvldb commands are run.
CAUTIONS
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 vos remove command instead.
OPTIONS-server <server name>
Specifies the file server machine portion of the site definition to
remove. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either
fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details,
see vos(1).
-partition <partition name>
Specifies the partition name portion of the site definition to
remove. 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).
-id <volume name or id>
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of the
read/write volume to remove.
-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
/usr/afs/etc/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).
-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.
EXAMPLES
The following command removes the mistakenly defined read-only site
/viceph on the file server machine "fs5.abc.com" from the VLDB entry
for the volume "root.cell".
% vos remsite -server fs5.abc.com -partition h -id root.cell
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /usr/afs/etc/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".
