Deactivating the asynchronous communications adapter on the server

This topic describes how to manually deactivate an asynchronous communications adapter in use with Operations Console.

The following procedures explain how to deactivate an asynchronous communications adapter on the server manually. You can deactivate the asynchronous communications adapter manually whether or not you have a local Hardware Management Console (HMC). (A local HMC is one that is connected to the server directly through a private network.) Refer to the appropriate procedure for your system.

Deactivating the asynchronous communications adapter on a server with an HMC

To deactivate an asynchronous communications adapter on a server with an HMC, follow these steps:

In the navigation area, expand the managed server's entry with which you want to work.
Expand Service Applications, then click on Service Focal Point.
In the content area, click Service Utilities.
From the Service Utilities window, select the managed system with which you want to work.
From the Selected menu on the Service Utilities window, select Operator Panel Service Functions.
From the Operator Panel Service Functions window, select the logical partition with which you want to work (it might be the only partition on your system).
From the Partition Functions menu on the Operator Panel Service Functions window, select Disable Remote Service (65) — i5/OS^®.

The system attempts to deactivate the asynchronous communications adapter. If it is successful, the Function/Data window displays the system reference code (SRC) D1008065. If the modem initialization is unsuccessful, the Function/Data window displays D1008065 after attempting to activate the asynchronous communications adapter.

Deactivating the asynchronous communications adapter on a server without an HMC

To deactivate a asynchronous communications adapter on a server without an HMC, follow these steps:

Use the system's control panel to place the server into manual mode
Use the Up and Down buttons to select function 25, and then press Enter.
Use the Up button to select function 26, and then press Enter.
Use the Down button to select function 65, and then press Enter.

The system attempts to deactivate the asynchronous communications adapter. If it is successful, the Function/Data window displays the system reference code (SRC) D1008065. If the modem initialization is unsuccessful and SRC D1008065 is not displayed, see Failure to display D1008065 and D1008066 automatically after calling the function.
