Removing an IPLIMx Card

Use this procedure to remove an IPLIMx card, a card running the iplim or iplimi applications from the database using the dlt-card command.

The card cannot be removed if it does not exist in the database. Prior to 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 either IPLIM or IPLIMI.

Perform the Removing an IPLIMx Signaling Link procedure in this chapter to remove all the signaling links assigned to the card, shown in the LINK column of the rtrv-card output.

The card location is shown in the CARD field of the rtrv-card command output. No entries in the LSET NAME, LINK, and SLC columns mean that no signaling link is assigned to the card.

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 06-10-12 09:12:36 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 2.
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.
