Commissioning
Decommissioning Chassis
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 Figure3-21).
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.
