Re: how to remove hardware - correctly

And besides, even if the card wasn't supported you just don't add it to the
LPAR, that way the OS doesn't even see the unsupported hardware. You ARE
able to concurrently run multiple OS'es so you are also able to have
different hardware on the same frame.

If it's in a FC #5796 today then it's a FC #5736 thus it still supported
on i 7.3.

Now honestly there isn't much risk removing the card I've done it MANY
times.

But the risk/reward basis isn't favorable in my eye.

When I upgrade from 7.1 to 7.3 the card will not be supported. I just

want to remove any unsupported hardware before the upgrade so I does not
cause issues during or after the upgrade.

Subject: Re: how to remove hardware - correctly

My question is why remove the card? The jukebox and cables etc sure. All
the configuration objects within IBM i, absolutely. (And bravo for doing
that by the way, mostly that stuff gets to live on forever!) The card
however, takes effectively zero power, occupies a slot you most likely
have no other use for and has no value on the used market.

In other words is it worth the risk to remove it?

Thank you for all your detailed notes and help. I will be doing this

in restricted state. The jukebox is the only thing on this adapter card.

Once we get to restricted, I will power off the domain and then remove

the card. If I crash the system, well it is already down so be it.

But we should be fine. I just never removed hardware before and want

to know the proper steps, which you provided.

Thank you.
