NAME

tkadmin delete disk - removes a disk from the Toolkit server’s administration

SYNOPSIS

tkadmin delete disk -server servername diskname

ARGUMENTS

-server servername Specifies the server affected by the command. The server name is the name that is registered with the DCE Directory Service. If the server name is not specified in the command line, it is retrieved from an environment variable, ENCINA_TK_SERVER. 

diskname Specifies the full path name of the disk to be removed.  This must be the same name that was used to initialize this disk. 

DESCRIPTION

The tkadmin delete disk command removes a disk from the Toolkit server’s administration. This marks the disk as “uninitialized.” This command fails if there are any physical volumes on the named disk. (You must delete all physical volumes on a disk using the tkadmin delete pvol command before deleting the disk.) 

NOTES

Windows NT uses fully-allocated operating system files as disks.  All occurrences of “disk” and “disk partition” should be read as “file” throughout the description of this command when used on Windows NT. The result of the command is the same. 

On Windows NT, the tkadmin delete disk command removes the disk name from the server’s administration, but does not remove the underlying file device. Use the appropriate operating system command to delete the file. 

EXAMPLES
