Description
A replica used as a standby spare or for disaster recovery maintains a complete copy of the master server's versioned file archives. Replicas that are used for other purposes might not need to hold a copy of the content of every version of every file. If a replica is not needed for disaster recovery, you can reclaim disk space on it by periodically deleting versioned files. This is only safe to do if you have a backup of these files.
The p4 cachepurge command allows an administrator to reclaim disk space for those replicated servers that are not used for disaster recovery. File content is deleted only from the replica, not from the master server nor from any other replica. If a command that accesses purged file content is issued to this replica, the file is retrieved from the master server.
Each time the p4 cachepurge command runs, it attempts to delete enough file content from the replica to achieve the goal set by the values specified for the command parameters.
