Chapter 5 Commands IOP Disable Operation This command disables (removes) the specified IOP from the active server configuration. You can use this command to start a maintenance procedure described in Chapter 9. You can also use this command to remove an IOP that is not operating properly so that you can verify whether the server operates correctly without it. For a disabled IOP to rejoin the server, you must issue an IOP Enable Operation command. Warning: When you issue this command, all I/O devices on the specified IOP are unavailable to the CEs. To ensure server availability while the IOP is disabled, follow the precautions listed in Shutting Down an IOP 210 on page 207 before issuing this command.
