HP NetServer AA 6200 Solution Release 3.0 Administrator's Guide

Chapter 5 Commands

IOP Disable Operation

This command disables (removes) the specified IOP from the active server configuration. You

can use this command to start a maintenance procedure described in

Chapter 9. You can also use this command to remove an IOP that is not operating properly so

that you can verify whether the server operates correctly without it. For a disabled IOP to rejoin

the server, you must issue an IOP Enable Operation command.

Warning: When you issue this command, all I/O devices on the specified IOP

are unavailable to the CEs. To ensure server availability while the

IOP is disabled, follow the precautions listed in Shutting Down an

IOP 210 on page 207 before issuing this command.
