Stopping Devices and Processes
This appendix gives examples of identifying devices and processes before you move
or stop them.
As stated in Step 5. Prepare and Stop Devices and Processes
on page 4-8, you need
to identify all devices and processes before you can stop or move them. This important
step in system reduction must be done successfully if the donor system is to continue
to function well after the enclosures have been physically removed.
This appendix contains some examples of how to carry out this step. Use these
examples as a guide, along with the manuals for the remaining subsystems, to plan the
specific commands needed for your system reduction. The procedures for identifying,
preparing, and stopping these devices are subsystem-specific.
Based on Worksheet 8, the possible devices are listed in Table D-1
along with their
corresponding manuals and a reference to an example if any.
