rmsnap

Purpose

Use the rmsnap command to remove a snapshot.

See Also:

"Snapshot Commands" for related commands

Prerequisites

You must have the right to manage devices and change device state to use the rmsnap command.

Syntax

rmsnap::=

rmsn•ap [ --host/-h hostname ] [ --fs/-f filesystem-name ]
[ --nowait/-n ] snapshot-name ...

Semantics

--host/-h hostname

Specifies the name of the NDMP host that contains the snapshot that you want to remove. If you do not specify a host name, then Oracle Secure Backup uses the value from the host variable.

--fs/-f filesystem-name

Specifies the name of the file system included in the snapshot. If you do not specify the --fs option, then the fs variable must be set.

--nowait/-n

Does not wait for the snapshot removal operation to complete.

snapshot-name ...

Specifies the name of the snapshot to remove.

Example

Example 2-141 creates a snapshot called test and then deletes it.
