How to De-install and De-configure the Adapter
How to De-install Software
If you no longer need to manage a Fibre Channel Adapter, you can de-install the
corresponding software by using the
SMIT i
nterface.
Logged as
root
user, type:
smit install_remove
and select the ’Software names’ from the list corresponding to the LPPs you had installed
on your system (
devices.pci.df10e51a, devices.pci.df1001f7,
devices.pci.df1001f8 and devices.pci.df1001f9)
.
If you are not familiar with the AIX installation and de-installation procedures, refer to
AIX
Installation Guide
.
How to De-configure the Adapter
If you want to remove your adapter, for instance to re-use the slot for another adapter, you
must de-configure it to avoid device numbering conflict when configuring the new one.
There is no SMIT submenu specific to this operation.
With no process using the adapter, log on as
root
and proceed as follows:
•
stop IP and disks applications,
•
run the
ifconfig fe(x) detach
command
•
run the
rc.naviagent stop
command (if Navisphere is used),
•
unmount file systems,
•
run the
varyoffvg <volumegroup>
command
•
run the
rmdev –Rl atf(x)
command (if atf is used),
•
run the
rmdev –Rl fchan(x)
command,
•
finally, check that the
fchan
objects are in the
defined
state.
