## DESCRIPTION

The **vos remaddrs** command removes a server entry from the Volume Location Database (VLDB). There must be no VLDB entries that list the machine as a site for any version of a volume. If necessary, use the **vos move** or **vos remove** command to move or remove volumes. It is appropriate to remove a VLDB server entry when removing the corresponding file server machine from service.

To display all VLDB server entries, use the **vos listaddrs** command.

## OPTIONS

- **-uuid** \<*UUID of server*\>

  The unique ID as provided by the `"vos listaddrs -printuuid"` command.

## EXAMPLES

The following command removes the VLDB server entry for the file server with the addresses `192.12.107.214` and `10.47.11.17`.

```
   $ vos remaddrs -uuid 008f157e-bad0-157c-0ffee-357c4d1faa77 -verbose
   vos: Removing UUID with addresses:
   UUID: 008f157e-bad0-157c-0ffee-357c4d1faa77
   192.12.107.214
   10.47.11.17
```

## PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
