Removing a Namespace
From priv-exec mode, you can use the remove namespace command to remove a
namespace and all of its volumes:
remove namespace name [timeout seconds] [sync]
where:
name (1-30 characters) is the namespace to remove,
seconds (optional, 300-10,000) sets a time limit on each of the removal’s
component operations, and
sync (optional) waits for the removal to finish before returning. With this
option, the CLI lists the namespace components as it removes them.
The CLI prompts for confirmation before removing the namespace. Enter yes to
continue.
This operation generates a report, “removeNs_namespace_date.rpt,” which catalogs
all of the actions that it took. The namespace in the filename identifies the removed
namespace, and the date is the date and time when the command started. The CLI
shows the report name after you invoke the command. Use
show reports to see the file
listing; use
show, tail, or grep to read the file. To save the report off to an external site,
use the
copy command from priv-exec mode.
The command does not create the report if you use the
sync option; it shows its
actions at the command line instead.
For example, this command sequence exits to priv-exec mode and then synchronously
removes the insur_bkup namespace:
prtlndA1k(gbl)# end
prtlndA1k# remove namespace insur_bkup sync
Remove namespace 'insur_bkup'? [yes/no] yes
