DESCRIPTION
xen-delete-image is a simple script which allows you to delete Xen instances which have previously been created by xen-create-image. You must be root to run this script as it removes the Xen configuration file from /etc/xen and potentially removes LVM and EVMS volumes. (When invoked with the '--test' flag the script will continue running, but will fail to remove anything which the user does not have permission to delete.) LOOPBACK EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have three images 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz', stored beneath /home/xen the first two may be deleted via: xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen foo bar You may also delete them by running: xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen --hostname=foo --hostname=bar (The matching Xen configuration files beneath /etc/xen will also be removed.) LVM EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the volume group 'skx-vol' containing three Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via: xen-delete-image --lvm=skx-vol foo bar This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk', and 'bar-swap'. Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted. The Xen configuration files will also be removed from beneath /etc/xen. EVMS EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the container 'mycontainer' containing three Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via: xen-delete-image --evms=lvm2/mycontainer --hostname=foo --hostname=bar This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk', and 'bar-swap'. Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted. The Xen configuration files will also be removed. AUTHORS
