Valid for Alpha and Integrity server systems only.

    Enables the system manager to delete one or more active bitmaps
    to make memory resources available. If a minicopy bitmap is
    deleted, then former virtual unit members can be added only with
    a full copy operation. For more information about bitmaps, see
    the HP Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS.

    Requires ownership of the device or VOLPRO (volume protection)
    privilege.

  $ SHOW DEVICE /BITMAP DSA12

  Device   BitMap    Size    Percent     Type of   Master  Active
   Name      ID     (Bytes)  Populated   Bitmap     Node
  DSA12:  00020007     8364       0%    Minimerge  NODE1     Yes
          00040008     8364       0%    Minimerge  NODE2     Yes

  $ DELETE/BITMAP 00020007

      In this example, the SHOW DEVICE command output lists two
      bitmaps. The DELETE command deletes the bitmap with an ID of
      00020007.
