Gary, Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately that didn't work:
$ vos remsite -server 130.85.24.58 -partition /vicepa -id 536988828 Could not lock the VLDB entry for volume 536988828 VLDB: no such entry Error in vos remsite command. VLDB: no such entry Something I did just now was change the address of the non-existent server on the subnet we no-loner use to a temporary afs file server on a subnet we are using: vos changeaddr -oldaddr 130.85.60.43 -newaddr 130.85.24.58 I did read the caveats in the man page before running the above command. This at least points references to the non-existent fileserver to an existing server. I was hoping I could do a syncvldb and it would clean up the reference to the invalid volume but to no avail. -Aaron On Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 3:38 PM, Gary Gatling <gsgat...@ncsu.edu> wrote: > > On Sun, 31 Jul 2011, Aaron Knister wrote: > > There's a server that was decommissioned many moons ago that I'm trying to >> delete.
