Deleting an Adapter
Deleting an Adapter
All ServerNet addressable controller (SAC) records associated with the adapter are
deleted.
Considerations for DELETE ADAPTER
You must physically remove the storage adapter before deleting the adapter from the
system configuration database. If you do not physically remove the deleted CRU from
the system, the system automatically adds an installed adapter back to the system
configuration database in any of these cases:
•
You remove the adapter and then insert it back into the slot.
•
You restart the system.
•
You power off and on the adapter or its enclosure.
Example
1. Identify all the devices currently using the adapter:
-> STATUS $ZZSTO.#SNDA.GRP-11.MOD-1.SLOT-51, DETAIL
The example display is on page 11-6.
2. Stop each of the devices or device paths that use the adapter.
If any disks belong to a storage pool, you get an error message. You must first
remove them from the pool. (See the Storage Management Foundation User’s
Guide.)
3. Delete all paths connected to this adapter.
4. Physically remove the adapter.
5. Delete the adapter from the system configuration database:
-> DELETE $ZZSTO.#SNDA.GRP-11.MOD-1.SLOT-51
