Use this directive to delete a DSA. The DSA must be in state OFF when you delete it. For more information on a DSA's state, refer to STATUS attributes. Syntax: DELETE DSA [TO MEMORY IMAGE | TO SNAPSHOT] The DSA writes its directory information to disk when you use the DELETE directive. This means that all DSA information is saved, with the exception of any Accessor entities. When you next create the DSA, it will reconfigure itself automatically by reading its database files. The DELETE DSA options are only available on Tru64 UNIX. On OpenVMS systems, the directive DELETE DSA always produces a snapshot file. DSAs on Tru64 UNIX systems use memory image files instead of the snapshot files, by default. The DSA can read memory image files much faster, especially for large databases. Snapshot files are only supported on Tru64 UNIX systems for a small number of management tasks. These are documented in HP Enterprise Directory - Management. You are advised not to use the TO SNAPSHOT argument unless performing one of the tasks that specifically requires it.
