Description
The backupdelvolentry command deletes the indicated volume entry from the volume set specified with the
-name argument. Use the -entry argument to identify the volume entry by its index number. To display the
index numbers, use the backuplistvolsets command.
If there are any remaining volume entries with index numbers higher than the deleted entry, their indexes
are automatically decremented to eliminate any gaps in the indexing sequence.
Examples
The following command deletes the fourth volume entry from the volume set called "sys":
% backup delvolentry -name sys -entry 4
Name
backup_delvolentry - Deletes a volume entry from a volume set
Options
-name <volumesetname>
Names the volume set from which to delete a volume entry.
-entry <volumesetindex>
Specifies the index number of the volume entry to delete. Use the backuplistvolsets command to
display the index numbers for a volume set's volume entries.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup
command interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more details, see backup(8).
-cell <cellname>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag.
For more details, see backup(8).

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where the Backup
Server is running, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the
-localauth flag is included.
