rmcosi Command
Purpose
Removes a Common Operating System Image (COSI).
Syntax
Description
The rmcosi command removes a Common Operating System Image (COSI) created with the mkcosi command. If the common image to be removed is being used by thin servers, the operation fails unless the force flag (-f) is specified. The -f flag terminates any thin server sessions with the common image so that the COSI can be removed. This command depends on the bos.sysmgt.nim.master fileset being present on the system.
