Manually deconfiguring a processing unit

View deconfiguration information and manually deconfigure a processing unit (node).

You can view the current deconfiguration state for the processing units (nodes) in your network environment. The Advanced System Management interface displays the current configuration state and error-type for processing units in the deconfiguration state. You can also take a processing unit offline by manually deconfiguring the unit. The processing unit must be in the standby state before you can manually deconfigure it.

To manually deconfigure a processing unit, your authority level must be one of the following:
  • Administrator
  • Authorized service provider

To manually deconfigure a processing unit, complete the following steps:

  1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
  2. In the navigation area, expand System Configuration > Hardware Deconfiguration.
  3. Select Processing Unit Deconfiguration.
  4. In the right pane, for the node that you want to deconfigure, change the settings from Configured to Deconfigured.
  5. Click Save settings. After you manually deconfigure a processing unit, the ASMI displays the configuration state as deconfigured by user.
