NAME

       vos_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]
           [-help]

       vos rems -s <machine name> -p <partition name>
           -i <volume name or ID> [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l]
           [-v] [-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
           /etc/openafs/server/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.

       -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 /etc/openafs/server/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".
