Try

or

#ifconfig lan0 0.0.0.0

I think, you wanted to disable HBA by removing the link. UNPLUMB will just remove the ip from that NIC but not the link.

Please check, which type of backend connectivity is there at rear of the enclosure.

Depending upon that, you can do it.. There are different --> pass through, flex-10, VC flex-10.

Thanks,
Vivek

Hi,

because i have C7000 enclosure with VC flex-10 and a superdome 2 with flex-10. how i can disable the HBA on both type.
just I need to disable the HBA and re enabled for testing and troubleshooting.

and this is a correct steps to disable and enable network card.

To disable the NIC

# ifconfig lan0 down
# ifconfig lan0 unplumb

To enable NIC again
# ifconfig lan0 plumb
# ifconfig lan0 up


Thanks
