RMVNWSSTGL (Remove Network Server Storage Link)

RMVNWSSTGL Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Remove Network Server Storage Link (RMVNWSSTGL) command is used to remove an existing client storage space link from a network server description.

Note:

Removing a client storage space link requires updating items such as network aliases that refer to the drive letter at which the storage space is linked.

Note:

Removing a client storage space that is linked to a network server description of TYPE(*WINDOWSNT) needs to take the following under consideration: If any applications are installed on these drives, the drive may change causing the application to fail.

Note:

When removing the link to the quorum resource disk from a Windows server, all links from the server to clustered disks must be removed first. The links to clustered disks include any network server storage spaces with link type of *SHR and drive numbers 1-15.

 

Required Parameters

NWSSTG

Specifies the name of the network server storage space to be removed from the network server's link list.

NWSD

Specifies the name of the network server description that contains the link to be removed.

 

Optional Parameters

RENUMBER

*YES: After removing the link of the storage space from the network server specified (NWSD parameter), the sequence numbers will be renumbered sequentially so that no gaps occur in the sequence. This option is recommended because the storage space numbers will match the logical unit numbers assigned to the disk drives on the Windows NT server.

*NO: After removing the link of the storage space from the network server specified (NWSD parameter), the sequence numbers will NOT be renumbered sequentially. Gaps may be present in the sequence. This option is not recommended because the storage space numbers will not match the logical unit numbers assigned to the disk drives on the Windows NT server.
