Procedure for removing SSA array

UNIX AIX
1

Hi All,

What's the proper procedure for removing SSA arrays? Is the procedure like these?

  • rmdev ssa disk
  • physical turn off the ssa
  • cfgmgr

There's no more filesystem or logical volume on it. It's just pdisk and hdisk.

Thanks in advance,
itik

That is the way I've done it in the past. You don't mention vg but I assume you have removed it from any vg it was in.

I did it and I got this error after "cfgmgr":

0514-050 Cannot perform the requested function because the specified device was not detected

Do I need to remove also the ssa card? But there's no "errpt". Do I need to worry about this error.

I run the "cfgmgr" the second time, it's the same error.

You'll need to rmdev the enclosure (the ssa drawer) too.
