vcdba_rmrep

SYNOPSIS

vcdba_rmrep -s <oracle_sid> -p <primary_host> [-t <timestamp>] [-f] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

Removes a virtual copy repository.

The vcdba_rmrep command removes a virtual copy repository, specified by the <timestamp> parameter. If the <timestamp> is not specified, the entire database repository will be removed.

If removing a virtual copy repository, the virtual copy's status must be Removed and its backup status must be N. If the virtual copy’s status is Y, the -foption can be used to force the removal of the repository. The virtual copy's status and backup status can be obtained using the vcdba_display command.

If removing a database repository, all of the existing virtual copies and their repositories must be removed first.

You must run this command as a super user from the backup host. To allow the Oracle Database Administrator (Oracle Owner) to run this command, an identical Oracle Database Administrator user must exist on backup host. In addition, permission on the 3PAR Recovery Manager Installation and Repository directories must be changed appropriately.

■-s <oracle_sid> - The instance SID of the primary database. For an RAC database, any instance SID can be specified.

■-p <primary_host> - The corresponding host name of the primary host where the specified Oracle database instance is running. The value of the primary host name must match the output of the hostname command.

■-t <timestamp> - The timestamp of a virtual copy whose repository is to be removed. The virtual copy name can be obtained using vcdba_display command. If the <timestamp> is not specified, the entire repository will be removed.
