8.6 Disable ServerNet Ports in X-fabric MSEBS
8.6 Disable ServerNet Ports in X-fabric MSEBS
This procedure disables the X-fabric ServerNet ports in processor enclosures that are
connected to the enclosure you are removing.
Note. Consult the topology diagrams in the planning worksheets to determine which
ServerNet ports need to be disabled. An I/O enclosure is connected to only one port on one
processor enclosure; however, a processor enclosure might be connected to a port on as
many as 4 other processor enclosures.
Step Action Result
1. In the tree pane of OSM or TSM, navigate to a
processor enclosure that is connected to the
enclosure you want to remove. Expand the
group and module so you can see the MSEBs
(or SEBs).
2. Right click the X-fabric MSEB that is connected
to the enclosure you are removing.
Select Actions.
The actions dialog box appears.
3. Select Disable ServerNet Port and click
Perform Action.
4. Follow the screen prompts to disable the
appropriate ServerNet port.
5. If you are removing a processor enclosure that
is connected to other processor enclosures,
repeat steps 1 through 4 for the appropriate
ServerNet ports on those enclosures.
6. Close the Actions dialog box The tree pane reappears.
