Understanding the Container Delete Attributes You Can
Specify
You use the container delete command to delete a container.
Before deleting a container, consider the following attributes you
can specify:
■ Always delete container
■ Unconditionally delete container
Specifying Always Delete a Container
The always attribute indicates whether to delete a container, even if
it has a file system. If a container has a resident file system, the
container and file system are deleted simultaneously.
In the following example, the container delete command with
the /always switch deletes container 0, which has a resident file
system.
HPN0> container delete /always=TRUE 0
Executing: container delete /always=TRUE 0
Specifying Unconditionally Deleting a Container
The unconditional attribute indicates whether to delete a
container, even if the container has open files. A container may or
may not have open files. If a container has open files, the container
can be deleted without manually closing the open files. This switch
is not available in UNIX.
Caution: Unconditionally deleting a container that is in use
can cause a system crash under some circumstances.
In the following example, the container delete command with
the /unconditional switch deletes container 0, which has open files.
HPN0> container delete /unconditional=TRUE 0
Executing: container delete /unconditional=TRUE 0
