Removing an MCPM

This procedure is used to remove a Measurement Collection & Polling Module (MCPM) from the database using the dlt-card command.

Caution:

If the MCPM is the last MCPM in service, removing this card from the database will disable the Measurements Platform feature.

The examples in this procedure are used to remove the MCPM in card location 2107.

Canceling the REPT-STAT-CARD Command

Because the rept-stat-card command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rept-stat-card command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rept-stat-card command can be canceled.

Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, go to Commands User's Guide.

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

This is an example of the possible output.

An MCPM is identified by the entries MCPM in the TYPE field and MCP in the APPL field.

Display the status of the MCPMs in the database with the rept-stat-meas command.

This is an example of the possible output.

Inhibit the MCPM using the rmv-card command, specifying the card location of the MCPM.
If the MCPM to be inhibited is the last MCPM that is in service, the force=yes parameter must also be specified. For this example, enter this command.

rmv-card:loc=2107

When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```

Card has been inhibited.
```
Remove the card 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=2107

When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 09:12:36 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
DLT-CARD: MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Verify the changes using the rtrv-card command specifying the card that was removed in step 4.
For this example, enter these commands.

rtrv-card:loc=2107

When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
E2144 Cmd Rej: Location invalid for hardware configuration
```

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

These messages should 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.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
