REMOVE_ALLOCATABLE(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures
remove_allocatable - remove entries from allocation databases
/usr/sbin/remove_allocatable [-f] -n name
/usr/sbin/remove_allocatable [-f] [-d] -t dev-type
remove_allocatable removes entries of user allocatable devices from
the device allocation mechanism. remove_allocatable also removes
entries of some non-allocatable devices, such as printers, whose
label range is managed by the mechanism.
The following options are supported:
-d
Removes system-supplied default attributes of the
device type that is specified with -t.
-f
Force the removal of an entry. remove_allocatable
exits with an error if this option is not specified
when an entry with the specified device name no longer
exists.
-n name
Removes the entry for the device name.
-t dev-type
Removes devices of type dev-type.
When successful, remove_allocatable returns an exit status of 0
(true). remove_allocatable returns a nonzero exit status in the event
of an error. The exit codes are as follows:
1
Invocation syntax error
2
Unknown system error
3
Device name or dev-type not found. This error occurs only when
the -f option is not specified.
4
Permission denied. User does not have DAC or MAC access to
database.
