Deconfiguration

The recommended way to deconfigure objects owned by a logical partition is to first deconfigure the object from the operating system's point of view, and when necessary (z/OS® interacts with PR/SM to complete the reconfiguration process, other operating systems may not), use the Hardware Management Console's tasks to request PR/SM to deconfigure the identical object. The z/OS operating system expects operations personnel to use the HMC/SE based configuration tasks to request deconfiguration of a logical partition object.
