Yes. nvmaputil --delete works like a champ. I call it from a Perl script to
do deletion. It deletes from object database and maps.

Have you checked out hte nvmaputil utility that is new in 7.1.3? 

See appendix B and the --delete option and see if that works for you. Here
are the 7.1.3 Release notes where the new command is documented:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/netview/GI11-0927-02/en_US/PDF/GI11-
0927-02.pdf

I'm not entirely familiar with it myself, but maybe someone can indicate
whether this option also removes the object from the object database in
addition to lopping it off maps.
