Directory).

Removing a Directory

Reference on a

Regional Office

You can remove a regional directory from a regional office if the regional

office moves, is closed, or if you no longer want users to see that

directory. When you remove a regional user directory database, only the

reference to that database is deleted from the specified server.

In the following example, the Chicago user directory is configured on

regional offices in Boston and Los Angeles. The steps remove the

Chicago user directory from the Boston regional office but maintain it on the Los Angeles regional office.

To remove a regional office from the global directory:

1Log on to the primary VCX server in Boston using the cworks account and

enter these commands:

cd /opt/3com/VCX/vcxdata/globaldir/bin

./config.sh

The SELECT OPERATION prompt appears.

2At the prompt, enter 102.

The Enter the Primary ROSCA IP Address or Hostname to Delete prompt

appears.

3Enter the IP address of the primary server at the remote regional office (in

this example, the Chicago office) that you want to remove.

A confirmation prompt appears, asking you to confirm removal.

4Enter y to delete the regional office directory.

The Chicago regional office user directory will be deleted from the Boston

office’s global directory when the user directory databases resynchronize,

either automatically or manually.
