Prepare and Stop Internal Disk Drives
Prepare and Stop Internal Disk Drives
In Step 4. Inventory Enclosures to Be Removed on page 4-7, you recorded the names
of all disk drives in all the enclosures that you plan to remove from your system on one
copy of Worksheet 8 for each enclosure. Examine those worksheets and determine
which system-critical processes and applications use those disk drives so that you can
move these processes and applications to enclosures that will remain in the donor
system.
For example, if you are removing an enclosure that has a disk drive containing HP
NonStop Kernel Open System Services (OSS) files or KMSF swap space, you need to
move those OSS files or KMSF swap space to another enclosure that will not be
removed. For more information, see the
Open System Services Management and
Operations Guide and the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Manual,
respectively.
Terminate or Move Processes to Other Internal Disk Drives
As part of the reduction procedure, several internal disk drives will be removed from
the donor system. Before the reduction, terminate or move any dependent processes
and files from those internal disk drives to disk drives that will remain in the system.
Determining which processes and files are dependent is system-specific, so consult
your system analyst and your service provider. Dependent processes can be of three
types:
•
Active processes currently using the disk drive
•
Active processes not currently using the disk drive
•
Processes not yet started that might need the disk drive
