RE: Removing hosted disk

Sorry Jim, I'm still not seeing anything on the client system side that corresponds with anything on the NWS units, other than just the sequence number. Is there something else that I'm missing?

I'm away from my desk so I can't give you the example, but you have to look
at the address of the DASD unit, and that will correspond to the NWS storage
unit. You cannot just assume the order they have been attached to the slave
partition (although normally it is sequential) Larry: You around?

Once you figure that out, simply unlink the network storage unit from the
network server description and then delete the network storage.(I'd wait
until you know you have the correct units to delete them)

No need to boot the hosting system. On line real time is OK.

Subject: Removing hosted disk

We have a box with internal disk, an IBM i LPAR hosting disk for another
LPAR. I want to remove some of the disk capacity and return it to it's
original owner. We went into SST on the hosted LPAR and removed some of the
units and they are now non-configured.

From the KC:
Concurrent removal of virtual disk resources and external storage LUN
resources is not supported. After LUNs or virtual disks have been removed
from an ASP (non-configured), the system should be power down before
removing (unmapping, rezoning, etc.) the connections to backing storage of
logical or virtual disks.

So I'm going to power down the hosted LPAR to remove them, but I'd like a
way to display the units to make sure I'm removing the correct ones. Is
there anything that can be displayed in HDW resources or SST to match up
units between the hosting NWSSTG's and the hosted virtual units? Or do
you just have to assume that the sequence of units is preserved between
them?
