Hi Comrades,

Could anyone share the steps to Decommission a server from EVA and Cisco switch.

If anyone can send me or attach SOP, that would be of great help.

Regards,
Kalyan Guturi.

1. Shut the server down

2. Disconnect the fibre cables from the server

3. Delete the server's zones on the Cisco switch(es)

4. On the EVA, unpresent the vdisks.

5. IF the server storage is not going to be presented to an alternate server, delete the vdisks.

You should also delete the Host entry for that server on the EVA.
