Removing a controller or NIC
If you are replacing a controller, you should first
add the new controller (see
``Adding a controller'')
before removing the old controller.
CAUTION:
You cannot remove the controller that supports the root
filesystem without bringing down the system.
To remove a controller or NIC:
-
Select the slot containing the controller to be removed (click on the
slot icon).
-
Turn on the attention indicator for the selected slot (optional).
See
``Turning a slot attention indicator on or off''.
-
Suspend the driver instance for the controller.
See
``Suspending a driver instance''.
NOTE:
If you replaced a controller, you already suspended the driver
instance for the controller you are removing when you added the new one.
-
Turn off power to the slot.
See
``Turning slot power off''.
If the slot has a power LED verify that it is off.
-
Release the interlock for the slot (if it has one).
The Hot Plug Manager displays an unlocked interlock indicator
(open padlock).
-
Disconnect the cable(s) and physically remove the controller from the slot.
NOTE:
If you replaced a controller, you already moved cables from the old
controller to the new one.
-
If you replaced a controller you might have already resumed the
suspended driver instance onto the new controller, but
if you do not need the suspended driver instance, delete it.
See
``Deleting a driver''.
