Hardware configuration restrictions

Provides information about the lists of restrictions that apply for the hardware that is associated with resources.

The following restrictions apply for the hardware that is associated with resources. For more information, see Hardware service manager.
  • If you move a workstation I/O processor (IOP), you must move the attachment cable that is connected to the IOP to the card position along with the IOP.
    Note: The cable must be moved because the configuration for the IOP is tied to the resource name of the IOP, which follows the serial number of the card.
  • If you move a communications I/O adapter (IOA), you must move the cables that are connected to the IOA along with the IOA.
    Note: The cable must be moved because the configuration for the lines is tied to the resource name of the IOA, which is based on the serial number of the IOA card.
