qdelete client

Description

This command can be used to deconfigure and delete a client, along with its agents.

Note

You can mass-delete clients with or without their associated MediaAgents using the qdelete client command. You can include this command (along with the qdelete mediaagent command, if desired) in a script. Mass deletion of these items is useful if you want to remove them after a split of a CommCell. To mass-delete items where the CommCell is not split, be sure to run the script from the install location of the CommServe.

By default, the qdelete client command asks for confirmation before deleting the client. You can skip the confirmation prompt with the -y option.

Upon successful completion, qdelete client displays the message "Deleted the client successfully" on the command prompt. In case of an error, an error code and description are displayed as: "client: Error errorcode: errordescription"
