The ism_rm command enables you to remove an administrative user or storage device from the ISM server. You can also remove a storage volume from the ISM catalog.

| Element | Purpose | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| -server hostname | Specifies the name of the computer on which the ISM server is running | If you omit this option, this command looks first for an ISM server on the local computer and then for the first ISM server to respond over the network. |
| -admin name@host | Removes an administrative user from the ISM server | If you remove yourself as an administrative user, you can no longer administer this ISM server. |
| -device name | Removes a storage device from the ISM server | You cannot remove a storage device that is currently in use. |
| -volume name | Removes a storage volume from the ISM catalog | ISM no longer tracks the data on this storage volume. You can still recover data on the volume with the ism_catalog -recreate_from command. |
| -force | Forces a storage volume to be removed from the ISM catalog that is marked Manual recycle or a volume that contains save sets whose retention periods have not yet expired | ISM no longer tracks the data on this storage volume. |
