Removing shared channel paths for service

  1. Enter (from the z/OS® console that has the shared channel path online) CF CHP(nn) OFFLINE, where nn is the number of the desired CHPID.
  2. Use the Toggle all off option in the Configure On/Off task to remove the CHPID.

    The Toggle all off option detaches the CHPID from all LPs that it is currently attached to regardless of the target LP. A CHPID that is shared by multiple LPs is detached from all LPs without forcing you to detach it individually from each LP.

    Toggle all off is also valid for unshared CHPIDs and it is mutually exclusive of the Release task.

  3. Use the Service On/Off task to remove the CHPID.
