component name list

Specify a list of volume or mount points to delete. The list must contain all non-qualified objects or all qualified objects. The list cannot contain a combination of non-qualified objects and qualified objects.

Specify the component name list by using the following syntax:

object-1[(object-1-id)][,object-2[(object-2-id)]...]

For example:

fcmcli delete backup g:(20110311124516),h:(20110211034512),r:(20101114164310)

The following example is for a non-qualified object object-1:

delete backup g:

The following example is for a qualified object object-1 (object-1-id):

delete backup g:(20110815064316)

Use the query backup command to find the Object Name identifier.
