Iop Disable Operation - HP NetServer AA 4000 Administrator's Manual

IOP Disable Operation

This command disables (removes) the specified IOP from the active server configuration. You
can use this command to start a maintenance procedure described in
Chapter 9. You can also use this command to remove an IOP that is not operating properly so
that you can verify whether the server operates correctly without it. For a disabled IOP to rejoin
the server, you must issue an IOP Enable Operation command.
Warning: When you issue this command, all I/O devices on the specified IOP
are unavailable to the CEs. To ensure server availability while the
IOP is disabled, follow the precautions listed in
IOP 210
