NSS - Remove or reinstall "definition"

[hb307]

Hi!

Recently I was at an installation where the server (NW5, SP3a) abends and recovers because there is a problem with a non existing NSS volume. The abend happens only once.

I asked and found out:

The Admin wanted to get rid of NSS (no space restrictions there) and replaced the NSS Datavolume with a classical one. On this run he added some devices to his Compaq RAID for both more space and redundancy (RAID5 I think).

He didn't delete the NSS b4 (wanted to keep the hardware for recovery).

Does any one know a procedure to remove the defined NSS volume or completely remove NSS (not loading NSS-NLMs didn't help).

The answer is actually addressed in TID 10057739 on the Novell Website. You have to delete the Virtual Device.

Hope this helps.

nemch,

this TID isn't it. There is nothing to be deleted within nwconfig. It looks like there isn't any NSS (volume, partition et. al.)

The removed HDU was the only one containig NSS partition, volume etc.

As a new server is in sight and there will be some NDS redesigning I won't put much work on it.

Thanks anyway.
