6. Ensure Devices and Processes Are Stopped
6. Ensure Devices and Processes Are Stopped
For system processes and subsystems, see the appropriate manuals for the
commands to show that processes are stopped.
For user processes, use the appropriate tool to verify that processes are stopped.
7. Delete Devices and Processes If Necessary
Skip this step if you will either move these devices and processes to another system or
remove them from your system only temporarily.
7.1 Delete Devices and Processes From System Configuration
Database
The commands for deleting devices and processes from the system configuration
database are subsystem-specific.
Step Action Result
1. In the tree pane of the OSM Service
Connection or TSM Service Application,
expand the enclosure and the module of the
enclosure that contains the stopped devices,
including internal disks.
The tree pane displays the
devices in the enclosure.
2. Make sure all icons are fully expanded. The tree pane displays all devices
in the enclosure.
3. Verify that the devices you have stopped are in a yellow state.
If you will … Then …
Remove the enclosure from your system only temporarily Skip this step. Go to
8. Prepare Enclosures
for Removal on
page 4-11.
Either:
•
Never use these devices on the donor system again.
•
Never add another enclosure later to the donor system that
has the same group number as the enclosure being
removed.
Perform this step.
