Deleting CTE-LDT Metadata (Linux)

To remove the metadata associated with the GuardPoint, you must run the voradmin command on the managed host to remove the CTE-LDT metadata associated with the GuardPoint.

Before you attempt to remove an MDS file, make sure that no CTE-LDT-protected GuardPoints remain configured under the file system mount point.

In the following example:

• /oxf-fs1 is the mount point

• /oxf-fs1/gp1 is the CTE-LDT-protected GuardPoint

To delete the metadata associated with the GuardPoint:

1. Ensure that the GuardPoint is not enabled on the host. Run the command below and verify that the GuardPoint pathname does not appear in the output of the secfsd command, type:

    secfsd -status guard
   

2. Run the voradmin command to remove CTE-LDT attributes on the GuardPoint, type:

    voradmin ldt attr delete <GuardPoint path>
   

   For example:

    voradmin ldt attr delete /oxf-fs1/gp1
   LDT metadata has been removed from all files in GuardPoint /oxf-fs1/gp1
   

Deleting the LDT Private Space Directory for NFS Shares

As described in LDT Metadata Management Over NFS/CIFS Shares, CTE-LDT creates and manages LDT NFS metadata in the LDT Private Space Directory inside the GuardPoint. To remove the LDT Private Space Directory and the files it contains, use the voradmin ldt rmldt <GuardPoint> command. For example:

 voradmin ldt rmldt /nfs-oxf-fs1/gp1
Enter YES if GuardPoint /nfs-oxf-fs1/gp1 is no longer associated with an LDT policy -> YES
LDT metadata on /nfs-oxf-fs1/gp1 has been removed.
