Deleting switches

You can delete the complete definition of a switch or switch configuration by using the Delete action from the context menu (or action code d ) on the Switch List or Switch Configuration List. This also deletes the connections from the ports to channel paths, control units, and other switches. The link address and dynamic switch definitions for a channel path are not deleted.

The Confirm Delete Switch panel shows all the switch control units and devices that will be deleted with the switch. If you don't want them to be deleted with the switch, disconnect the control units from port FE of the switch, before you delete the switch.
