Will work, but would be nicer to it if you did a "set vswitch xxxx disconnect" first. You will lose all connectivity with no backup, but you know that ;)

I know that the OSA device has to be vary'd offline, as does the path and CHPID. Is there a way to tell a VSWITCH to shutdown without destroying it? This particular VSWITCH doesn't have a second fail-over address. If I detach the device from the VSWITCH controller, vary the device, path and CHPID offline, will this suffice? Thanks in advance, Dave Keeton
