Decommissioning Chassis

Chapter 3 Deploying and Discovering Objects

Commissioning

Decommissioning a chassis decommissions all objects within the chassis, and active management (such as polling) stops on the chassis and on all objects within the chassis.

Decommissioning a managed chassis object is necessary in order to delete a managed chassis object from the EM. Should you attempt to delete a managed chassis object from the EM without first decommissioning it, an error displays indicating that the action cannot complete successfully.

To decommission a chassis, proceed as follows:

Step 1 Right–click (on a relevant object icon in the Map Viewer window or from an object pick list) and choose Cisco Access Router Manager > Configuration > (Chassis >) Configuration. For information on which objects allow you to launch the Chassis Configuration window, see Appendix A, “EM Windows”.

The Chassis Configuration window appears displaying the Configuration tab (see Figure 3-21).

Step 2 Select the chassis you want to decommission in the Chassis list box on the left–hand side of the window. Step 3 Click Decommission (located in the Actions area).

The chassis and all objects contained within are decommissioned. Decommissioned objects remain in the left–hand pane of the Map Viewer window and appear grayed out in the chassis map which displays in the right–hand pane of the Map Viewer. An Action Report window appears displaying the outcome of the chassis decommissioning. If decommissioning is successful, the state of the chassis and subchassis objects change to decommissioned.

Step 4 Click Close to close the Action Report window.

Step 5 Choose File > Close to close the Chassis Configuration window.
