rmvolgrp

Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID

(Optional). Specifies the storage image ID, which consists of manufacturer, type, and serial number. This parameter is required if you do not specify a fully qualified volume group ID and you do not specify a value for the devid variable in your profile file.

Example: IBM.1750-68FA120

-quiet

(Optional). Specifies that confirmation prompt for this command be turned off.

Volume_Group_ID . . . | -

(Required). Specifies an array of one or more volume groups IDs to be deleted. All volume groups specified must belong to the same storage unit. This parameter also accepts a fully qualified volume group ID, which consists of the storage image ID, or a shortened version without the storage image ID if the -dev parameter is specified. The shortened version is a four-digit decimal number with no leading zeroes, prefixed with the letter V.

To specify a range of volume group IDs, separate the volume group IDs with a dash (-).

You must separate multiple volume group IDs or ranges of volume group IDs with a blank space between each ID or range of IDs.

If you use the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically supplied.

Example of -dev parameter use

If you specify the -dev parameter, you can use the shortened version of the Volume_Group_ID parameter as follows:

dscli>rmvolgrp -dev IBM.1750-68FA120 V11 

If you do not specify the -dev parameter and you specify the Volume_Group_ID parameter, you must use the fully qualified version of the volume group ID as follows:

dscli>rmvolgrp  IBM.1750-68FA120/V11
