The following procedure describes how to remove the HBA, if you need to do so for any reason. For detailed removal instructions, refer to your system documentation.
The hardware removal process involves these general steps:
If you plan to perform a hot-plug removal, and Emulex OneCommandManager is in use in your environment, stop the OneCommandManager process prior to attempting the hot-plug removal by issuing the stop_ocmanager command, located in this installation directory:
Oracle Solaris - /opt/ELXocm
Linux - /usr/sbin/ocmanager
If you do not stop the OneCommandManager process first, the hot-plug removal might fail, or a system panic might occur.
Either halt the operating system and remove power from the system, or prepare the HBA for hot-plug removal with one of the following:
The HBA Attention (ATTN) button, as described in To Prepare the HBA for Removal Using the Attention (ATTN) Button
The Oracle Solaris OS, as described in To Prepare the HBA for Hot-Plug Removal (Oracle Solaris)
The Windows Server OS, using the Safely Remove Hardware menu
Remove the HBA from the system.
