RE: All units in an ASP can not be removed.

I IPL'd to DST, followed the directions from the link.
However, ASP 02 was not deleted.
I need to recreate this on a playground LPAR.

FYI, Both host and client LPARS did IPL without issue.
The small remaining percentage on the one remaining disk also went to 0.0.

To delete a user ASP, follow these steps:

If you are not already using dedicated service tools (DST), perform a manual initial program load (IPL) to start DST.
From the Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) menu, follow these steps:
Select option 4 (Work with disk units).
Select option 1 (Work with disk configuration) on the Work with Disk Units display.
Select option 3 (Work with ASP configuration) on the Work with Disk Configuration display.
Select option 2 (Delete user ASP) on the Work with ASP Configuration display and press the Enter key.

Delete User ASP
Type option, press Enter 4=Delete
--Protected-- --Unprotected--
Option ASP Threshold Overflow Size %Used Size %Used
1 90% No 600 77.84% 0 0.00%
2 90% No 0 0.00% 200 0.53%
3 90% No 0 0.00% 200 0.53%

Type a 4 in the Option field of the ASP you want to delete and press the Enter key. The Confirm Delete of User ASP display is shown.

Confirm Delete Of User ASP
Warning: Deleting a user ASP will remove all units of that ASP from the
configuration. The units will become nonconfigured. Press F10 to confirm
your choice for 4=delete Press F12=Cancel to return to change your choice
--Protected-- --Unprotected--
Option ASP Threshold Overflow Size %Used Size %Used

Press F10 (Confirm) to confirm that delete of the ASP. The delete operation might take several minutes.
If you have no other tasks to perform, end DST.

I expect you would get a disk error at that point as the disks would not be visible to the guest.

IPL-ing into DST and removing the ASP would be the better option.

I would have expected to have to do this to get rid of the ASP.

This is User ASP 02.
If I shut down the guest, vary off the NWS on the host, will the quest
IPL without issues?

If you shut the guest down you will be able to vary off the NWS.

Which ASP is it you are trying to get rid of ?

You don't really say where you are trying to get to so it is hard to
be more specific.

On the host LPAR, I wanted to vary off the NWS, but I guess that
can't be done until the ASP is deleted?

I have always seen that, even for an empty ASP.

Am I correct that ASP can only be deleted through OpsNav, no green

screen command.

Not with a command, but with a DST option.
