To remove a fileset's FLDB entry without removing the fileset, do the following:
1. Verify that you have the necessary privileges. You must be included in the admin.fl file on each Fileset Database machine or own the server entry for each machine that houses a version of any fileset whose FLDB entry is to be removed. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to verify the members of an administrative list.
2. Enter the fts delfldbentry command to remove the fileset entry from the FLDB. Because this command lets you remove multiple FLDB entries simultaneously, be careful to remove only those FLDB entries you no longer need.
$ fts delfldbentry {-fileset {name | ID} | -prefix string} [-server machine] [-aggregate name]
The -prefix string option specifies a character string of any length. Every FLDB entry that lists a fileset whose name begins with string is removed. If the -server and -aggregate options are specified, only entries for filesets on the specified server machine and the specified aggregate are removed. Use the -prefix option, or use the -fileset option to specify the name or ID number of the fileset whose FLDB entry is to be removed.
