Description
The bak rmhost command deletes the indicated Tape Coordinator entry from the Backup Database. The Backup Server no longer sends requests to that Tape
Coordinator, even if it is still operational on the machine. Repeat this command once for each Tape Coordinator whose entry is to be deleted.
The mapping between the TCID of a Tape Coordinator and the device name of the drive with which it is associated is recorded in the TapeConfig file on the Tape Coordinator machine. Remove the entry for a Tape Coordinator from the TapeConfig file when you remove its entry from the Backup Database.
Enter the bak addhost command to add an entry for a Tape Coordinator to the Backup Database. Enter the bak lshosts command to list the Tape Coordinators that have entries in the Backup Database.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be listed in the admin.bak files on all Backup Database machines.
Examples
The following command removes the entry for the Tape Coordinator with TCID 1 from the Backup Database:
$ bak rmhost 1
