Disconnect Another HMC

Use this window to disconnect another HMC from the selected managed system. This releases any lock that the other HMC might have on the selected managed system. After the disconnection is complete, the other HMC automatically attempts to reconnect to the managed system.

When you use an HMC to change a managed system, the HMC locks the managed system so that no other HMC can make conflicting changes at the same time. Normally, the HMC unlocks the managed system after the change is complete. If there is an error, and the managed system remains locked, you must disconnect the HMC from the managed system to reset the lock before other HMCs can change the managed system.

The list displays the following information about each HMC:

ModelType*Serial

This column displays the machine type, model, and serial number of each HMC. For example, 7310C04*553E22C indicates a machine type of 7310, model number of C04, and serial number of 553E22C.

Hostname

This column displays the host name of each HMC.

IP Address
