DELETE INSTALL

Syntax

DELETE INSTALL={TEMPORARY|PREFERRED|DEFAULT}

Description

This command deletes the specified install from the install information. In the

case of the default install, only the patch information is deleted, as the release

information must always be left intact in the default install.

The INSTALL module is responsible for maintaining install information and

loading the correct install at boot. An install is a record identifying a release and

an optional patch. Three installs are maintained by the INSTALL module,

temporary, preferred and default.

The default install is the install of last resort. The release for the default install

can not be changed by the manager and is always the EPROM release. The

patch for the default install may be set by the manager.

The temporary and preferred installs are completely configurable. Both the

release and an associated patch may be set. The release may be EPROM or a

release stored in FFS.

Examples

To delete the temporary install, use the command:

DELETE INSTALL=TEMPORARY
