that you can still access the volume before it is removed from the system. To
change the Purge Delay time, enter the following at the server console:
NSS/logicalVolumePurgeDelay=ddd
In this command, you replace ddd with the actual number of seconds to delay
the auto purge. The default is 172800 (2 days). For example, if you want to
change the Purge Delay time for one day, enter 86400.
The Purge Delay change command is not permanent. You must enter the
command each time you restart the server. If you want to make the new setting
permanent, enter the command in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
