The pdstsrm command is used to delete a reserved file or a file that is in shutdown status. Neither the current nor a spare file can be deleted.

Delete one of the following operands, as applicable. Delete the operand that corresponds to the status files that were deleted by the pdstsrm command.

• pd_syssts_file_name operand (for unit status files)
• pd_sts_file_name operand (for server status files)

If the applicable operand is not deleted, the deleted status files become virtual files. For this reason, if stop is specified in either of the following operands, HiRDB (or the unit for a HiRDB parallel server configuration) cannot start:

• pd_syssts_initial_error
• pd_sts_initial_error
