Storage System Reduction
6.2.1
Reduction without Server Rebooting
Using the "mpdconfig" command, storage systems can be removed without shutting the server. Use the
following procedure.
Procedure
1
Detach the hardware.
Log out of the iSCSI target and disconnect the storage system to be removed from the server.
2
Delete the removed hardware from the Multipath Driver target list using the "mpdconfig -d"
command.
[Example]
3
If a storage system is removed and the recognition order function is being used, execute the
"mpdconfig -s" command to reconfigure the recognition order.
[Example]
However, if the storage system reduction reduces the number of storage systems connected to the
server to one or less, execute the "mpdconfig -c" command to clear the recognition order setting
instead.

•
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 requires the server be rebooted for storage system reduction.
•
When removing the storage systems and LUs without server rebooting, completely halt all access to the
storage systems or LUs that are to be removed. If access cannot be halted, follow the procedures
described in
"6.2.2 Reduction with Server Rebooting" (page 75)
