Removing an inoperable site from a clan

If you have a site whose databases have been damaged beyond repair or deleted without a backup, and you want to remove the site from the clan, perform the following steps. The examples show how to remove the replica in the DOC family at site tokyo and decommission the site tokyo from a clan that also includes sites sanfran_hub and boston_hub (which contains the working schema repository).

About this task

Each command must be entered on a single physical line.

Force the transfer of mastership of all objects from the unrecoverable replica to another replica.
At site boston_hub, run this command:
```
multiutil chmaster -clan telecomm -site boston_hub -family DOC -user admin 
-password secret boston_hub -all -force tokyo 
```
If you are decommissioning the site, force the transfer of mastership for all users and groups.
At site boston_hub, run this command:
```
multiutil chmaster -clan telecomm -site boston_hub -family MASTR -user admin 
-password secret boston_hub -all -force tokyo 
```
At the working schema repository site, run rmreplica to remove the unrecoverable replica. Be sure to include the final argument, the replica you want to remove.
At site boston_hub, run this command:
```
multiutil rmreplica -clan telecomm -site boston_hub -family DOC -user admin 
-password secret tokyo 
```

Send an update packet from the site containing the working schema repository to all remaining sites.

At site boston_hub, run this command:

multiutil syncreplica -export -clan telecomm -site boston_hub -family DOC 
-user admin -password secret -workdir c:\work -fship sanfran_hub

At site sanfran_hub, run this command:

multiutil syncreplica -import -clan telecomm -site sanfran_hub -family DOC 
-user admin -password secret -receive

Remove the vendor databases for the replica and schema repository that were removed.
