From the vos_remsite man page:
WARNING
This command should not be used as the standard way to
remove a ReadOnly volume, as it can put the VLDB out of sync
with the volumes on servers. Use vos remove instead.
This command is useful for removing ReadOnly sites that were
mistakenly created with the vos addsite command, before the
vos release command actually releases them. If a ReadOnly
copy already exists at the site, it is not affected.
