Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Administrator's Reference

DELETE PROFILE (Delete a Profile)

Use this command on a configuration manager to delete a profile and stop its distribution to managed servers.

You cannot delete a locked profile. You must first unlock the profile with the UNLOCK PROFILE command.

Attention: Deleting a profile from a configuration manager does not delete objects associated with that profile from the managed servers. You can use the DELETE SUBSCRIPTION command with the DISCARDOBJECTS=YES parameter on each subscribing managed server to delete subscriptions to the profile and associated objects. This also prevents the managed servers from requesting further updates to the profile.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Syntax

                                   .-Force--=--No--------.

                                                 '-Yes-'
 

Parameters

profile_name (Required)
Specifies the profile to delete.

Force
Specifies whether the profile is deleted if one or more managed servers have subscriptions to that profile. The default is NO. Possible values are:

No
Specifies that the profile is not deleted if one or more managed servers have subscriptions to that profile. You can delete the subscriptions on each managed server using the DELETE SUBSCRIPTION command.

Yes
Specifies that the profile is deleted even if one or more managed servers have subscriptions to that profile. Each subscribing server continues to request updates for the deleted profile until the subscription is deleted.
