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.
