BCV convert back to NeverEstablished

Question

Ok, the unix guys are wining because they want all unused BCVs to show up as 'NeverEstab' when they do a BCV list. Is there a command to take a decommisioned BCV and have its state go back to 'NeverEstab'? Thanx in advance.

Its not possible to return a BCV to 'NeverEstab' using host software.The best you can do is 'symmir cancel', which will clear the STD-BCV relationship in the Symm, leaving the BCV in a state of 'SplitNoInc' (ie incremental establish not possible).Best Regards,Marc

You already know that I need a big car .. and that EMC needs a lot of money to pay my car ..  .. So it's OK to waste [disk] space ..

Dynamox 'big car' does not mean 'fast car' .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaedra_(mythology)Oooops I put the wrong link http://www.netcarshow.com/lancia/2002-phedra/This is what I'd call a BIG car  (if you prefer, a small van)

Yes, but the disk space being wasted is EMC's.Doesn't that cut into your potential for profit? *lol*

Oh Allen .. you are forgetting that you pay your box 110% of its value .. the 10% is for our boxes

Hey, I work for an insurance company and most of our clients have better coverage (group health and dental) than the company offers it's employees.

For example, we don't get a health card to cover drug purchases (which most of our customers do) so we have to pay for them up front and submit for reimbursement. They claim this keeps the cost of our insurance down because there are a certain percentage of people they know will either lose the receipts or forget to submit them. Nice, eh?
