Removing a Service Module

This procedure is used to remove a service module, used by global title translation, from the database using the dlt-card command. The card cannot be removed if it does not exist in the database.

Caution:

If the service module is the last service module in service, removing this card from the database will cause global title translation traffic to be lost.

The examples in this procedure are used to remove the service module in card location 1204.

Display the status of the service modules by entering the rept-stat-sccp command.

This is an example of the possible output.

Note:

The rept-stat-sccp command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rept-stat-sccp command, refer to the rept-stat-sccp command description in Commands User's Guide.

Remove the card from service using the rmv-card command and specifying the card location.
If the service module to be inhibited is the only service module in service, the force=yes parameter must also be specified. The cards that are in service are shown by the entry IS-NR in the PST field in the output in 1. For this example, enter this command.

rmv-card:loc=1204

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

Card has been inhibited.
```
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 this command.

dlt-card:loc=1204

When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 09:57:51 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 2.
For this example, enter this command.

rtrv-card:loc=1204

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

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

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.
