Determine the Physical Location of the GESA

1. Use the SCF INFO ADAPTER command to determine the GESA’s location (see

Example 3-23). Scan the command’s output for the group, module, and slot

location of the GESA:

INFO ADAPTER $ZZLAN.adapter-name

Abort the GESA

1. Use the SCF ABORT LIF command for each LIF to stop access to the LIF

associated with the GESA to be replaced.

ABORT LIF $ZZLAN.lif-name

2. Use the SCF STATUS LIF command to verify that the associated LIF is in the

STOPPED state (see Example 3-24).

STATUS LIF $ZZLAN.*

3. Abort the GESA object and its subordinate objects by using either method:

•

Use the SCF ABORT ADAPTER command with the SUB ALL option.

ABORT ADAPTER $adapter-name, SUB ALL

The SUB ALL option aborts the ADAPTER object and all its subordinate

objects

Example 3-23. SCF INFO ADAPTER Command

-> INFO ADAPTER $ZZLAN.E0153

$ZZLAN.E0153 1 1 53 GESA

Note. GESAs are named using the HP Manufacturing naming convention, you can easily

identify the physical location of the GESA by its name as follows:

$ZZLAN.Ecabid-slot

where cabid is the two-digit number that identifies the enclosure and slot is the actual

physical slot number in the enclosure. For example, the GESA named E0153 is located in

enclosure 01, slot 53. (See Manufacturing Naming Conventions

on page 1-11.)
