Removing vHBAs Connected to Linux Servers

This procedure applies to regular Linux servers. Use the following procedure to gracefully remove the vHBA:

1. On the host server, stop all I/O on the vHBA that you want to remove.
2. Stop all applications that might attempt to access storage over the vHBA.
3. If you have a file system mounted, unmount the volume by using the Linux umount command.

   For example, to unmount the /home volume:

   umount /home

4. Remove the vHBA.

   For example, to delete the vHBA named news_storage:

   remove vhba news_storage 

5. If appropriate, mount the volume by using the Linux mount command.

   For example, to mount the device /deva/abc27 as /home:

   mount /deva/abc27 /home
