◆ <set_name> is the name of the virtual volume set being removed or modified.

◆ <VV_names> are the names of the virtual volumes being removed from the

<set_name> virtual volume set. This specifier is optional and it is not required if you

are removing the entire set.

7.14 Freeing Virtual Volume Snapshot Space

 To free unused snapshot administration and snapshot data space from a virtual volume

that is not in use by the system, issue the

freespace <VV_name> or freespace

command, where:

◆ <VV_name> is the name(s) of the virtual volume(s) from which snapshot space is to be

made available.

◆ <pattern> is the name of the pattern from which snapshot space is to be made

available from all volumes matching that pattern name.

snapshots, the virtual volume is a TPVV, tor the TPVV was created with InForm OS
