Deleting checkpoints

After you have finished using the checkpoints, you can delete the checkpoints. VVR allows you to retain a maximum of 46 checkpoints. To create any new checkpoint, delete an earlier checkpoint that you no longer require.

 To delete a Primary checkpoint

# vxrvg -g diskgroup -c checkpt_name checkdelete rvg_name

The argument rvg_name is the name of the Primary RVG for which the checkpoint is to be deleted.

The argument checkpt_name is the name of the specific checkpoint to be deleted.

 To delete a Secondary checkpoint

# vxrlink -g diskgroup -c checkpt_name checkdelete rlink_name

Note that this command must be run only on the Primary.

The argument rlink_name is the name of the RLINK for which the checkpoint is to be deleted.

The argument checkpt_name is the name of the specific checkpoint to be deleted.
