I can't, because as mentioned the volume name is also associated with
another volume id that I definitely don't want to delete. To illustrate what
I mean, 130.85.24.58 is the server I want to delete and the RO volume
associated with it that I want to delete is named g.ilin22.local:

-------
$ vos listvldb -server 130.85.24.58
VLDB entries for server 130.85.24.58

g.ilin22.local
    ROnly: 536988828
    number of sites -> 1
       server solaris10-test1.core.umbc.edu partition /vicepa RO Site

Total entries: 1
-------

However, if I query the vldb for the volume g.ilin22.local you'll see
(below) that it and its RO replicas exist with a different set of volume
IDs. As I mentioned, I can't delete this volume by name. Doing so would be
very bad for me.

-------
vos listvldb g.ilin22.local

g.ilin22.local
    RWrite: 537195552     ROnly: 537195559     Backup: 537195686
    number of sites -> 3
       server ifs1.afs.umbc.edu partition /vicepd RW Site
       server ifs1.afs.umbc.edu partition /vicepd RO Site
       server ifs2.afs.umbc.edu partition /vicepd RO Site
