PurgePiTsOrSnapshots
command
Syntax
PurgePiTsOrSnapshots -Snapshot | -PiT | -SyncPiT, ~
-Template RootName [ANYSUFFIX], ~
[-Group SyncMirrorGroupName, ] -Keep NumberToKeep
Description
Purges (deletes) old PiT or snapshots, provided they all have the same root name (all start with the
same prefix). Their suffix can be any suffix (set with the ANYSUFFIX flag in the command line), or
if their suffix is not set, was automatically created by the VSM API (through the template flag).
PiTs with snapshots on them are not purged. The number to keep may be zero (for example, delete
all).
For synchronous mirror PiTs, you must provide the name of the synchronous mirror group on which
the synchronous mirror PiTs are created.

PurgePiTsOrSnapshots -PiT, -Template MyPiT, -Keep 3
PurgePiTsOrSnapshots -SyncPiT, -Template SyncMirror_PiT AnySuffix, ~

-timeout 900
Description
Waits for a newly created VSM object to become ready for use. Use this command after creating
a VSM object (of a type that is handled by this command) with a zero timeout (so that the CLI
returns without waiting for the object to be ready for use). If the object is created and ready for
use, VSM_OK is returned.
