Removing an IPSG Card

Use this procedure to remove an IPSG card, a card running the ipsg application, from the database using the dlt-card command.

The card cannot be removed if it does not exist in the database. Before removing the card from the database, the signaling links assigned to the card must be removed.

Caution:

If the IPGWx card is the last IP card in service, removing this card from the database will cause traffic to be lost.

Display the cards in the database using the rtrv-card command.

This is an example of the possible output.

Select a card whose application is IPSG.

Display the linksets that are assigned to the IPSG card by entering the rtrv-ls command with the names of the linksets that are assigned to the IPSG card, shown in the rtrv-card output in 1.

For this example, enter these commands.

rtrv-ls:lsn=ipsgnode1

This is an example of the possible output.

Link set table is (11 of 1024) 1% full.

If the ADAPTER value assigned to the linkset is m2pa, perform the Removing an IPSG M2PA Signaling Link procedure to remove the M2PA signaling links assigned to the card.

If the ADAPTER value assigned to the linkset is m3ua, perform the Removing an IPSG M3UA Signaling Link procedure to remove the M3UA signaling links assigned to the card.

After the signaling links have been removed from the database, continue the procedure with 3.

Remove the card from the database using the dlt-card command.
The dlt-card command has only one parameter, loc, which is the location of the card. For this example, enter these commands.
dlt-card:loc=1205

dlt-card:loc=1207

When these commands have successfully completed, this message appears.
```
rlghncxa03w 08-04-13 17:00:02 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
DLT-CARD: MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Verify the changes using the rtrv-card command and specifying the card that was removed in 3.
For this example, enter these commands.
rtrv-card:loc=1205

rtrv-card:loc=1207

When these commands have successfully completed, this message appears.
```
E2144 Cmd Rej: Location invalid for hardware configuration
```

Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

These messages appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.


BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
