N1 Provisioning Server 3.1, Blades Edition, System Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Delete Server Blades and Switch and System Controllers

The following steps describe how to delete server blades and SSCs in an I-Fabric that are not being used in a farm.

Before You Begin

Before physically removing server blades and SSCs, run the removefru blade command from the system controller. See the Sun Fire™ B1600 Blade System Chassis documentation for details on how to use this command.

All blades to be deleted must be in FREE or NEW state. You can change device states by executing the device command. See the device man page for details on how to use that command.


Caution – Caution –

Do not remove the SSC0 component, otherwise N1 Provisioning Server software will fail.


Steps
  1. When prompted to either type q for exiting or type the line number for the recommended action, type the line number to delete the device.

  2. When prompted whether to delete the device, type y.

    You are prompted to confirm the deletion.

  3. Type y again.

  4. When all recommended actions are completed or you do not want to complete the remaining recommended actions, type q to exit.

    You are asked whether you want to resynchronize the chassis with its saved state, synchronize another chassis, or exit.

  5. Make the appropriate selection for synchronizing all the chassis you want to have synchronized.

  6. Type 3 at the prompt to exit.
