Removing a Cache
To remove a cache completely, including the cache object, its cache volume and all
space-optimized snapshots that use the cache:
1. Run the following command to find out the names of the top-level snapshot volumes
that are configured on the cache object:
# vxprint -g diskgroup -vne \
"v_plex.pl_subdisk.sd_dm_name ~ /cache_object/"
where cache_object is the name of the cache object.
2. Remove all the top-level snapshots and their dependent snapshots (this can be done
with a single command):
# vxedit -g diskgroup -r rm snapvol ...
where snapvol is the name of a top-level snapshot volume.
3. Stop the cache object:
# vxcache -g diskgroup stop cache_object
4. Finally, remove the cache object and its cache volume:
# vxedit -g diskgroup -r rm cache_object
