Maintaining the Correct AP State

If you attach a board that hosts a controller that is part of a disk pathgroup, you must use apconfig -F to clear the detach flag (DE) for that board.

If you detach a board that hosts a network controller, and that network device has not been used since the previous boot, you must run apconfig -F to notify the system that the network device is no longer available.

The apconfig -N command may incorrectly indicate that a network controller resides on a board that is detached (or incorrectly indicate that it resides on a board that is present) if the corresponding AP metadriver has not been loaded. Use apconfig -F to ensure the correct information is shown by apconfig -N.
